Thanks.  You gave me the kick I needed.  I also suddenly thought to simply do 
a "rpm -ql pygtk" and found the list of all .py files comming with the 
package.  By looking into them, I can see the API from a Python point of vue.

I found the problem.  By default, all windows have their "Visible" attribute 
set on.  I disabled them all except for the main window.

Thanks for the help.
