Ah, I think you want the attrib() method, rather than the set_attribs()
method; the latter just understands the Icon graphics attributes of the
component's cloned windows, whereas attrib() also handles attributes that
have nothing to do with the cloned windows (such as the button's label).
Unfortunately in this case the attribute "label" has two meanings; the
buttons's label and also the Icon graphics attribute which is the string
shown in the title bar.
By the way, there is a method set_label which can be used to conveniently
change the button's label dynamically.
Hope this helps,
Robert
