[pygtk] pygtk with directfb without x11

[sgf42 at fischer-abc.de]

Just commenting this section out

;; From gdkkeys.h

(define-method have_bidi_layouts
  (of-object "GdkKeymap")
  (c-name "gdk_keymap_have_bidi_layouts")
  (return-type "gboolean")
)

in the file

pygtk-2.12.1/gtk/gdk-2.12.defs

and rebuilding pygtk is doing the job !!!

Regards
Sven
