Ahau Thanks for posting code to share !
here's an update on toggling a pixmap image ,button and entry
gtkdialog is a static GUI so much trickery involved to get it to look like a dynamic GUI
meaning updating the GUI when its running
the pixmap took me awhile to figure out so don't feel bad if
it takes you some time to get a working example going
it starts to make sense after the dizzy feeling goes away from following all the zig-zags
*required images * place in the same directory as the script

# NOTE: This example requires at least gtkdialog-0.7.21 (please visit
# http://code.google.com/p/gtkdialog/).
# March 27 2012 btnImage and lable Toggle bigbass modified example added
# entry label and default start
# March 29 -2012 added pixmap function
# /tmp/ replaced with /dev/shm/ for guest account permissions problems
# required images in the same directory as the script

gtkdialog --program SIMPLE_MENU
unset SIMPLE_MENU
this is how to think when using gtkdialog
I hated gtkdialog before for the reason it looks odd to read
and stayed away from it after a little practice it becomes easy to read
The first thing you need to see is how the code is grouped in blocks like legos
1.) The light blue is the head and foot
2.) The yellow is in this example the start and end of the body everything else is between this
3.) The grey in this example the text starts and ends and the lable is what shows in the GUI
4.)The orange is a simple double button one is ok the other is cancel it starts with a hbox in this example
sometimes you want things horizonal that's hbox
sometimes you want things vertical that's vbox
the faster you see how the code is grouped the faster you can add and remove code
in blocks this is the first hurdle when reading gtkdialog
that thought led me to start developing a syntax high lighting tool for gtkdialog more to come !
