I am working on a music database application for myself and I wanna write the GUI using glade and obviously GTK, but I've not had much luck getting things to work, I have two books on python and both say 'just do X' but if X doesn't work I am kinda stuck, so if anyone could help me I would be grateful.
The problem is that when I try to just show the GUI (never mind event handlers and signals etc, just want the GUI to show atm) nothing happens, python sorta sits there doing nothing. I have attached the glade file and the python file in the hopes it'll only be one or two lines to change that I am simply unaware of. Thanks Niadh
