I have some code below that is attempting to update a GTK Label element. I'm including two files: the ui file and the py file.
UI file:
<glade-interface>
<widget class="GtkWindow" id="ApplicationFrame">
<property name="width_request">320</property>
<property name="height_request">240</property>
<property name="visible">True</property>
<property name="events">GDK_KEY_PRESS_MASK</property>
<property name="title" translatable="yes">Simple</property>
<property name="resizable">False</property>
<property name="window_position">center-always</property>
<property name="default_width">320</property>
<property name="default_height">240</property>
<property name="decorated">False</property>
<property name="gravity">center</property>
<child>
<widget class="GtkFixed" id="layout">
<property name="width_request">320</property>
<property name="height_request">240</property>
<property name="visible">True</property>
<child>
<widget class="GtkLabel" id="l1">
<property name="width_request">320</property>
<property name="height_request">40</property>
<property name="visible">True</property>
<property name="xalign">0</property>
<property name="label" translatable="yes">l1</property>
</widget>
<packing>
<property name="y">43</property>
</packing>
</child>
</widget>
</child>
</widget>
</glade-interface>

This should be simple, but I'm completely missing what I'm doing wrong. The element, l1, is not getting updated properly. I think the code within try_to_update is where I need to update the UI, but I'm at a loss as to which function I need to call. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance!
