There might be some decorative differences, but that's due to the different window managers. But yes, PyGTK is a good choice. > 2) Do you suggest to use Glade to design windows?

Glade is pretty useful for most people. I don't personally use it because I find that, personally, I spend more time looking up how to adjust something in Glade than just write the code myself. I guess if I were trying to write some large project or had a great desire to learn Glade, I'd find it useful. I know some people prefer it - I guess it should come down to this line of questioning: If you make a webpage do you prefer Arachnophilia/Dreamweaver/WYSIWYG or vi/emacs/notepad? When you regularly program do you prefer IDLE/Codeblocks/Etc. or vi/emacs/notepad? If you lean towards the former, I would recommend Glade. If you lean towards the latter, I would recommend you try out Glade, but you may likely find simply coding in your favourite editor works better for you. HTH, Wayne
