I'm currently passing callback functions to the the second window, which
get called when needed (to preserve the illusion of correct
OO-encapsulation) -- but this is also nasty, as I have to change the
__init__ method whenever I need an additional callback.

So ... also waiting for better ideas ;)

P.S: Just thought about it - but could the usage of signals
("data-changed") in the second window, which the first one connects too,
be a possibility? ... (hmm - well - then we need to connect each time,
the second window is created, which is also ugly)
