I use GtkAboutDialog and everything works fine except the close button of this widget.

I use GtkAboutDialog and everything works fine except the close button of this widget. All other buttons works fine, I don’t know how but all buttons have default callbacks and they create and destroy the windows.
But the “Close” button of GtkAboutDialog widget does not work. I can not even see it’s widget. So, can I access it?

[CLARIFICATION] What you’re looking at is gtk.AboutDialog — popup window displaying information about an application (new in PyGTK 2.6). This window contains the ‘close’ button widget which is contained in a GtkHButtonBox widget. The GtkHButtonBox widget is the highest level widget I am able to access for some. Any ideas on how to get to the “close” button and connect a handler for a callback signal?

    You don’t conenct signals in the same way for a dialog as you do for a window. I made the same mistake when learning PyGTK.

    The most basic form of a dialog is you display and run the dialog with:

    aboutdialog.run()

    Often you will then immediately call:

    aboutdialog.destroy()

    The .run() line is a loop, which runs until something happens within the dialog.

    There is a working example here.
