Python dialogs issue

[Blutack]

I'm having a problem with a Python/GTK problem that google can't solve.
When I show an about dialog, using the following piece of code:



def about(self, widget):
self.about.run()
self.about.destroy()


It works perfectly the first time, but the second time I try to select it, I get a tiny window with no contents and the following error:

flyby.py:228: GtkWarning: gtk_container_foreach: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed
self.about.run()

Does anybody please have any ideas about this?
It also throws the same error for a different dialog.
Cheers!

It sounds like you either need to rebuild the object before calling run() on it again, or use hide() instead of destroy(). Calling destroy() really does destroy the widget, you need to recreate before you can use it again.

That's sorted it, many thanks!
