This will be perfect, if it works!  I will try it tonight and let you
know how it goes.  Thanks a lot for the link to some possible
documentation.

Question: How in the world did you interpret those two method calls
from the documentation?  In the documentation the method names are
different and they both require that the GtkWindow be passed as the
first argument.  However, what you have written in Python are
different method names and the exclusion of the GtkWindow argument. 
How did you come up with this?
