Class GTK2.Widget

Description

The basic widget, inherited (directly or indirectly) by all widgets. Thus, all functions and signals defined in this widget work on all widgets.

One of the most important functions in this class is 'show', it lets GTK2 know that we are done setting the attributes of the widget, and it is ready to be displayed. You may also use hide to make it disappear again. The order in which you show the widgets is not important, but I suggest showing the toplevel window last so the whole window pops up at once rather than seeing the individual widgets come up on the screen as they're formed. The children of a widget (a window is a widget too) will not be displayed until the window itself is shown using the show() function.
