	So - after a bit more digging; I got to here:

class MessageBox:
    def __init__(self, XParentWindow):
        try:
            if XParentWindow is None:
                frame = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDesktop().getCurrentFrame()
                XParentWindow = frame.getContainerWindow()
            self.Parent = XParentWindow
            self.Toolkit = XParentWindow.getToolkit()
        except:
            raise AttributeError, 'Did not get a valid parent window'

    def msgbox(self, message='', flag=0, title=''):
        '''Wrapper for com.sun.star.awt.XMessageBoxFactory.'''
        rect = uno.createUnoStruct('com.sun.star.awt.Rectangle')
        dlg = self.Toolkit.createMessageBox(self.Parent, rect, "errorbox", 1, title, message)
        dlg.execute()


	Which at least works for me, though I couldn't see why the
com.sun.star.awt.MessageBoxButtons set of constants wouldn't work nicely
for me.

	When I whack that into my system's TableSample.py and add:

    box = MessageBox(None)
    box.msgbox ("What is this ?")

	to createTable() - I get a nice message-box first :-) I bound running
that macro to F4 to make it quicker to loop iterate / check the code
 
	The UNO API is pretty fearsome to use, it can help to read the
interface comments in offapi/ but it is not for the faint hearted,
clearly :-)

	I guess, seeing how broken the C++ side is - with helpful comments
like:

    if(!bIsLoggedIn)
    {
        OSL_FAIL("create error message");
        return;
    }

	that simply don't create an error message, or do anything useful -
perhaps a chunk of the work needed is on the C++ side anyway.

	HTH,

		Michael.
