[pygtk] Gtk programming technique question...

[GSO]

OK, cheers, got that. Would never have guessed that that was lurking
down there in the darkest depths of gobject. Will have to study that
tutorial properly.

I'm creating a PyGtk desktop client for motion
http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHome - a CCTV
program.  The GUIs available all require Apache and MySQL - which is
overkill if you don't need the industrial level features, it's better
keeping things simple as well for security reasons.

I haven't ever created or managed an opensource project before (or
used Python or Gtk for that matter, they are both pretty cool though).
 But I am at this point I think now I have that working heading over
to Google code.  The project will be called gmotion.
