that can't be included in my livecd because it depends on QT (ten MB at
least)
but a gtk version will be a plus because pygtk is already installed in
almost all livecds

it's a matter of 9KB

yes that's the point of it. at least on my Ojuba.org

Oh! I thought that white BG give it some different look because it's a
header banner

6px! yes it looked better, thanks

maybe, I delay the documentation part for now

no thanks, I hate glade
using code like this
    for i,j,k in [('mactel',"Intel Macs",0),('xo',"XO",0),
('xo-no-home',"No XO Home",0)]:
      self.opt[i]=gtk.CheckButton(j)
      self.opt[i].set_active(k)
      hb.pack_start(self.opt[i], False,False,0)

makes adding new options much simpler for me,
glade is aimed to make it easy, and for my case direct coding is much
easier
