If you are referring to Big John's and the GladeVPC documentation, yes for many hours now! 
I just want a simple confirmation box, where a button is clicked on my GladeVCP which is loaded on the side of Axis, then on that confirmation box I would like the choice of three options, one of which is the cancel box which simply destroys the dialog, the other two execute either a o word call or a separate python script that is already written. The modal option would have been nice, because I don't want the ability to jog the machine or turn it off once that box is opened up.
I guess it sounds simple enough in nature, but finding the proper way to implement that into Axis seems to be a stretch for the documentation I have been able to find.
More details so other may attempt to follow:
First in the axis ini file:and alsofor linking other gladevcp.button#s that show up on the side bar.
Then the glade side bar is created with the glade GUI with a button 'button' that has the following details:
in the Signals tab under GtkButton the following is selected from the "clicked" item in the drop down: "on_button_clicked"
An additional window dialog box is also created as 'dialog1'
All the details are added with my two hal buttons, Defaults, Calibrate, and another plain button Cancel.
Next is to code the my_handler.py file to connect the signals to the now 4 buttons, per the tutorials, however I see no handeler py file referenced in the example you have listed, only a hal file. Seems I am missing the bigger picture with gmoccapy (I'm not even sure where to find your notification snippet).
Anyhow per the tutorials as best as I can follow with my limited python knowledge, I have a simple set of defs written as:
Which allows my dialogue to open up and destroy, but the other two hal buttons Defaults and Calibrate do not work as referenced in the postgui hal file:
