You got to give us your code.

hello.py :

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import os
try:
	import pygtk
	pygtk.require("2.0")
except:
	pass
try:
	import gtk
	import gtk.glade
except:
	sys.exit(1)

class action:
	def __init__(self):
		#set the glade
		self.gladefile=("action.glade")
		self.wTree=gtk.glade.XML(self.gladefile)

		#create dictionary and connect it
		dic = { "on_button1_clicked" : self.button1_clicked,
			"on_button2_clicked" : gtk.main_quit,
			"on_checkbutton1_toggled" : self.checkbutton1_toggled}
		self.wTree.signal_autoconnect(dic)

	def button1_clicked(self,widget):
		checked = self.checkbutton1_toggled.get_active()
		if checked:
			os.popen("gnome-terminal")
		else:
			pass
	#here i got confused how to set the checkbutton signal
	def checkbutton1_toggled(self,widget):
		if widget.get_active():
			os.popen("gnome-terminal")
		else:
			pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
	wine = action()
	gtk.main()

it will check if checkbutton is checked then it will run something like
popup message and if not checked nothing will happen
