I am writing a simple application and am using glade (gtk) for the UI. I need many windows (~10), of which one will open depending upon the command line flags, other contextual stuff etc.

Now, all these windows are pretty much similar, they have 3 top level tabs, the last tab is the same in all, all have a OK and Quit button etc., so I am looking for a way to build these windows in glade. I could copy paste one window and make the changes in that, but I am looking for a better way, that will allow me to reuse the common parts of the windows.

Also, I am using pygtk for loading up the windows.

    Design a widget with the common aspects you mention. Wherever you need to implement something different, put a GtkAlignment with an appropriate name. Don’t forget to change the alignment and fill values of the GtkAlignment.

    In PyGTK you can gtk.Builder.get_object(name) to get access to these empty regions and add the extra components within them (which can also be designed with Glade).
