Thanks for info. I have a habit of diving into coding rather than
swatting up on theory which can cause bad habits :-)

The main reason I am changing my program to use glade is to make it
easier to maintain. I've started on one part of the python files and I'm
impressed with the decrease of code and how less cluttered it is. I'll
take your tip and create it at startup rather than on the fly.
