Here is the same program using python's lambda (unnamed) procedures:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# run glade-2 to create TWO windows, then TWO buttons, 
import gtk.glade;
project1=gtk.glade.XML("project1.glade");
window2=project1.get_widget("window2");
window2.hide(),
project1.get_widget("button1").connect("clicked",lambda dummy: window2.show()),
project1.get_widget("button2").connect("clicked",lambda dummy: gtk.main_quit()),
gtk.main()

4 statements....  That can be merged into just one line.

You could label the buttons, "hello world", "hello moon" to legitimise
the program.
