You can try using the KUI (alpha name) package I've pre-released as
http://www.async.com.br/~kiko/KUI-0.3.9.tar.gz and checking out the UI
module and the example provided. It does embedding of a native PyGTK
widget into a libglade interface. It's not very smart or pretty, but it's
simple and it works.

AFAICT the Custom widget wasn't wrapped for pygtk-1.2. By the looks of it,
it won't be, either, right James?

Take care,
