Yes, I have that as a callback for the filechooserbutton.  So far it
simply prints "Yippee!"

OK, I will try that. I didn't see get_filename as a function/method
for the filechooserbutton in the docs.
http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkfilechooserbutton.html
Or do I need to associate a filechooser to the filechooserbutton to
have a get_filename?

I don't have a filechooser most of the time it is a transient object
created (and destroyed, I think) by the gtkfilechooserbutton.

Those are the docs for a different object, I think.

The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong.
