Hello,

I discovered the same "feature" on Redhat 7.2 last week.  It turns out that
pygtk is compiled as part of the gnome-python package.  PyGtk IS compiled
with threads enabled. BUT someone applied a broken patch that conditionally
call's g_thread_init in init_pygtk() based on the value of an environment
variable.  As written, the patch simply never allows g_thread_init to be
called.  Our solution was to arrange for g_thread_init to be called
elsewhere before "import gtk".
