Right, except I don't maintain Glade-2 and if there's a bug... it wont get fixed
(and if there's a bug in the code it generates... that wont get fixed either).

Why do you have to use generated code ? Have you looked at the GtkBuilder
apis ? (GtkBuilder is a part of GTK+ and so is also available in the python
bindings and just as easily usable as calling a create_window1() function as
I read you were doing in a previous mail).

Also... about GtkWindow:decorated property, I dont know exactly what is
the problem, its possible you ran into a bug in GTK+

I would advise you might ask about the problem in detail on
gtk-app-devel-list at gnome.org
(a list on the topic of the widget... not it's interface designer).

You might also try to reproduce the problem in a very small test case in Python
(create a non-decorated window and add an entry to it and see if its broken).

Then you could go ahead and file a bug and attach your test case...

Cheers,
