It prints warnings and possibly errors for tools that don't even need X, like jp_*_lookup in the jpilot package, or reportbug. Those need to import python-gtk2 (or modules importing python-gtk2) for various reasons, and if only because it's common practice to unconditionally include modules in Python. It also causes performance degradation. If I don't use X, why should I need to "pay" for initialisation of X methods? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
