[Glade-users] How-to define my own class inheriting from gtk.Window and using glade file

[Dominique Beauchamp]

Thanks. I had some difficulties to find how to set new env. variables on
Ubuntu but it is not the point...

What was not clear in the doc was that I beleived I had to have one catalog
(xml) per class (widget). I is clear (maybe I'm wrong) that the best way is
to have a master .py file that imports all the other widget python files and
one catalog file with multiple class entries. Maybe this should be made
clearer in the doc.

Anyway, it works fine! Thank you!
