Thanks for the sample code and sorry for delay. It took 3 days to make progress with this because I couldn’t get a Gramps Plugin Registration (.gpr.py) to work.
I needed the extra feedback launching Gramps from the terminal to isolate the problem. (Which was: other addons were freaking out the Registration and causing it to stop processing. Resolving those other problems allowed this registration to complete.)
But that meant discovering how to get Gramps to start launching from the terminal again. (I had removed a developmental version of Gramps and it fell back to a Flatpak instance. Launching the Flatpak instance is very different then launching from the development instance.)
Saved your sample into a new file called SampleGramplet.py in a SampleGramplet folder in my gramps52/plugins folder of my Gramps User Directory.
The corresponding Gramps Plugin Registration file is called SampleGramplet.gpr.py with the content:
# encoding:utf-8
#
# Gramps plugin- an addon gramplet for
# the Gramps GTK+/GNOME based genealogy program
