Lone H. og Lars G.:
 |To get started with phyton x-windows GUI programming I would appreciate any
 |code examples or references.

By x-windows programming do you mean:
  1) Conventional Xlib/Xt/<Xt-based Toolkit> programming?  OR
  2) Use of any GUI toolkit system that will display on an X/Windows display 
     server?

If the latter, check out:

   http://www.python.org/topics/tkinter/doc.html

for some links to Tkinter, Python's defacto GUI standard.  This is but one
of the GUI development toolkits supported in Python.

(If you aren't tied to Xlib/Xt/..., I wouldn't recommend using it unless
you need to.  Lots of flexibility, but it's the assembly language of X GUI
development.)
