I've been seeing these warning messages for a while now with pygtk2/libglade2, and I don't really know what they mean. It's complaining about not finding a handler for the signals that various widgets create, but the handlers are obviously there since clicking on the buttons actually does something. I've emailed the maintainer of pygtk2/libglade2 to see if he knows. We'll see what he says.

He says: "There was a bug in the last pygtk release (1.99.8) where it would decref a reference it didn't own in the signal_autoconnect() wrapper. This is probably the cause of the problem you are seeing. Either try checking out CVS head, or editing libglade.override and get rid of the Py_DECREF call just before the g_signal_connect_closure() call in connect_many()."
msw has built a new pygtk2 that pulls in these changes and doesn't spew all the handler warnings. The deprecation warnings will still be there though. There doesn't seem to be a way to avoid them at the moment.
