The GtkExtra.py file should have come with pygtk. It is not related to
the GtkExtra package (gtkextra.sourceforge.net or something), but just
contains some convenience functions I wrote while developing pygtk. I
don't know why you don't have a copy of it. I don't really recommend
people use those convenience functions in their own apps though. The
MenuFactory stuff is superceded by GtkItemFactory (found in the gtk
module), and the dialog stuff is not implemented that well.
As for why the win32 dlls are marked as version 1.3, the reason is that
there has never been a stable 1.2 release of gtk for windows. The version
used for the gimp port is based on an early snapshot of the 1.3 branch
(before the incompatible changes).
