Can't show preferences dialog

Question

I'm having some trouble with Python, again. I created a project using Quickly, and it created a preferences dialog for me. I am now trying to build up the preferences dialog, but I always get some error pointing me at a piece of code Quickly generated itself.

robin@RobinJ:~/Ubuntu One/Python/gtkreddit$ quickly run
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py:391: Warning: g_object_set_property: construct property "type" for object `Window' can't be set after construction
  Gtk.Window.__init__(self, type=type, **kwds)
WARNING:gtkreddit_lib: connect_signals() 'expected handler 'btnRefresh_clicked' in /home/robin/Ubuntu One/Python/gtkreddit/gtkreddit/GtkredditWindow.pyc'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/gtkreddit", line 33, in <module>
    gtkreddit.main()
  File "/home/robin/Ubuntu One/Python/gtkreddit/gtkreddit/__init__.py", line 33, in main
    window = GtkredditWindow.GtkredditWindow()
  File "/home/robin/Ubuntu One/Python/gtkreddit/gtkreddit_lib/Window.py", line 35, in __new__
    new_object.finish_initializing(builder)
  File "/home/robin/Ubuntu One/Python/gtkreddit/gtkreddit/GtkredditWindow.py", line 50, in finish_initializing
    dlgPreferences = PreferencesDialog ()
  File "/home/robin/Ubuntu One/Python/gtkreddit/gtkreddit_lib/PreferencesDialog.py", line 26, in __new__
    new_object.finish_initializing(builder)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'finish_initializing'

This is the piece it is complaining about;

def finish_initializing(self, builder): # pylint: disable=E1002
    """Set up the preferences dialog"""
    super(PreferencesGtkredditDialog, self).finish_initializing(builder)

The entire code can be found here.

Please assist. I'm pretty new to Python.

The base class for the Preferences dialog is looking for an object named preferences_gtkreddit_dialog, you need to either rename the dialog back to that.

In addition, somehow your PreferencesGtkredditDialog Glade file has been changed to think it is an instance of GtkDialog, where it should be an instance of PreferencesGtkredditDialog.
