GTK Graphics Sample Activity

Here is an activity which demonstrates using GTK (specifically PyGTK) to do graphics in a Sugar Activity. The activity draws a green square inside of a black square using GTK drawing commands. When you press a key it quits.

# This demo shows how to set things up to do GTK graphics
# in the Sugar environment.
