You're right. We really should have a method Workbook.get_gui(). Can
you bugzilla this?

But once you got the wbcg, you would notice that gnumeric_notice isn't
wrapped from Python, either. I don't think we're going to wrap
it at all. Just use.

gtk.MessageDialog(parent=None, 
                  flags=gtk.DIALOG_MODAL,
                  buttons=gtk.BUTTONS_CLOSE, 
                  message_format="Put your message here")

You can do this right now.  If Workbook.get_gui() had been implemented,
you would change parent to "workbook.get_gui().get_window()". That
would make the dialog stay on top of Gnumeric and be iconized and
deiconized with it. Nice, but not terribly important.

Hope this helps
