[pygtk] how to add window as a page to a notebook

[Andi Albrecht]

ups, sorry... you'll have to get the window first:

xml = gtk.glade.XML(my_ui.glade)
win = xml.get_widget('window1') # or whatever the name of your
toplevel window is
widget = win.get_child()

But if you don't need the top-level window, it's probably better to
get the child widget directly from the Glade file.
