Glad you like it. Currently on the third revision, after
fixing linking bugs on Leopard, and "flat" package bugs.

Should be ready for a "real" release after that, I think.

Hmm, isn't this package part of freedesktop rather than
gtk+ ? And amazingly, this 1 file and empty dirs is GPL...
So it can't be included in a LGPL (+compatible) package ?

Something that could be useful would be to package the Tango
icon theme and the SVG loader, but that's more an "add-on"
(ditto with the JPEG, JP2 and TIFF pixbufloaders as well) ?


And it doesn't help to just include the theme file, since the
glib location is hardcoded to "/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/".
(and neither of those are being used, but instead "/opt/gtk")
So in order to to work, the user needs to set $XDG_DATA_DIRS:

GtkWarning: Could not find the icon 'gtk-find'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
	http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases


Anyway, those aren't really PyGTK issues. But GTK/XDG quirks.

Shouldn't affect the packaging, if they're added in afterwards.
