[pygtk] gtk.Assistant

[Mauro Giacomini]

Hello, I'm finally managed to get Assistant Widget works.
As Pietro told me, I'm be able to collect data and info from a page and 
use them somewhere else in
the application.
I missed one important step: if I collect an info from page one and I 
want to display that info in
a label in page two, for example, I must create a label widget 
previously on page two; then I connect
the prepare signal and update the text of the label to display what I want.
I will make further test, but I am on the right track.

Thanks again Pietro and Chaouche.

Mauro
