So I've built a UI with Glade and have loaded it using the standard
Python code. In my UI, I have a textfield called txtUsername. How do I
get and set the text in this field from my Python code?

field.get_text()
field.set_text(value)

<http://pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkentry.html#method-gtkentry--set-text>

and it will print a list of methods that are defined by that object.
Hopefully one of them will be called something helpful like set_text()
or set_property(). Once you know the method name, you might try a Google
search to determine the exact usage and arguments.

-1 -1 -1 Do not "google" [search the Internet] for solutions to pyGtk
problems. That is just a confusing waste of time. Use the *excellent*
and well-linked documentation:

<http://pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/>
<http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=index>

The FAQ is extensive and really does cover a lot of the common
questions. Also there is a list specifically for pygtk questions:

<http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk>

Google, or Bing, or even DuckDuckGo, are *not* your friends. They are
enormous and inefficient time-sinks. They are a *BAD* way to solve
problems. Use the documentation.
