Python/GTK Text Wrap Question . . .

Greetings!

After some cut-and-try, I've cobbled together the following bit of basic code:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python

import gtk

class PyApp(gtk.Window): 
    def __init__(self):
        super(PyApp, self).__init__()
        
        self.set_size_request(250, 250)
        self.set_position(gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER)
        self.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit)
        self.set_title("Custom Message Box Test")
        self.label = gtk.Label()
        self.label.set_label("This is the sample text content; and it goes on and on and on...")
        self.label.set_line_wrap(True)

        button = gtk.Button("OK")
        button.connect("clicked", self.on_clicked)

        fixed = gtk.Fixed()
        fixed.put(button, 200, 200)
        fixed.put(self.label, 5, 5)

        self.add(fixed)
        self.show_all()

    def on_clicked(self, widget):
        self.destroy()

PyApp()
gtk.main()

...but try as I might, I just can't get
Code:
self.label.set_line_wrap(True)

to tick over in this context Smilie

Any ideas as to how this could work?

Thanks a bunch!
