# really want to replace the existing callback on window1!!
window1.emit_stop_by_name("delete-event")
w1_ignore=window1.connect("delete-event",ignore_signal)
window1.emit_stop_by_name("delete-event")

I get the same message twice, i.e. I cannot even remove my own
ignore_signal...
(clickhere.py:2564): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:832: no emission
of signal "delete-event" to stop for instance `0x86a4040'

I even tried destroy-event and got the same msg...

Heres what troubles me a bit... (From the FAQ)
section 22.8. How do I retrieve the ID of a signal connection made by
signal_autoconnect?
This is currently not possible via the libglade API. However, you can
avoid using autoconnect for the specific signals you require the ID, and
connect() manually, storing the ID returned.

I will check this out.

BTW: The FAQ was great.... I found various simple answers to other pygtk
puzzles that have been torturing me...  The tutorial also.

ThanX
