For a drop-dead simple example of a pygtk program, look at
ftp://people.redhat.com/bfox/sample-glade-program.tar.

Uncompress the tar file and then cd into the template/ directory.  Then
run './template.py' to execute the program.  template.glade is the XML
file that glade creates.  In order to change this UI, open this file
with Glade.  mainWindow.py contains the Python code.  The
"xml.get_widget()" calls show how to retrieve the GTK widgets from the
XML file so that you can then reference them from inside your Python
code.
