addgui = app()
gtk.main()

Answer 1

Two things off the top of my head (assuming your indentation is correct and not like it is above):

1.) You do not invoke the main loop like:

addgui = app()
gtk.main()

2.) You have a typo in

self.alert = self.builder.get_object('dailog1')  ## dialog is spelled wrong
