First, not familiar with your issue...

... but might be able to help you think through it...

I am assuming that you are building a Python script using a glade 
interface that provides the widgets drag-an-drop style and then allowing 
you to take the default code, add to it, or otherwise modify it.

I am also assuming that the /call back/ is returning a Python None, on 
the linux platform... otherwise you're getting the widget name from the 
same script on the windows platform??  right?

It might be helpful to examine both scripts to see where (if any) they 
differ. More likely than not, this little snag is a difference in the 
way that the windows version of gtk+ libraries are working, than the 
original ones on the linux platform.

On the other hand, the Python wrappers for the gtk+ library on the linux 
platform may be hiding the return values. Python functions return 'None' 
if the 'return' is not explicitly coded. The gtk+ libraries may be 
returning a value but the 'builder' is not generating the right Python 
wrapper. I'm making this up, but you get the idea, and you can probably 
check from here.

On the other hand, folks here can enter into a discussion with you 
regarding the generated Python code (output from the builder) if you 
provide relevant code snippets.


Kind regards,
