Unfortunately I would completely have to agree. Although I wish it was 
different. I really wish the GTK+ people and the PyGTK people (as well 
as the other wrappers) to take a real stance in making the toolkit very 
cross-platform friendly. Very much in the way that the Qt people have 
made it REALLY easy to port Qt applications from platform to platform 
with qmake and what not. On the other hand GTK seems to be a real pain 
in the ass to setup on any system other than BSD/Linux. Its really 
disappointing. So I can only hope that these people (GTK and PyGTK 
respectively) start taking notice of the need for better cross-platform 
support and start making some changes.
