Currently you should do the argument parsing before importing gnome.applet
or whatever. This is not ideal, and will probably be updated at some
point (probably with the upgrade to gnome-libs-2). At some point in the
future, it will probably be necessary to call a gnome.init() function,
which may also provide support for adding your own popt argument parsing
table.
For now, it is probably best to do some of the argument parsing before
importing any of gnome.*. You should probably remove the arguments you
use from sys.argv.
