It seems it was introduced in pygtk 2.1.7 as a side effect of correcting 
something to do with widget id's and the fact that widget names do not 
have to be unique (although glade insists that they are).

looks like i have to modify my code & use gtk.buildable.get_name(widget) 
instead, not really a big change but may break someone else's code
