I saw a thread back in December about a broken patch being part of
RedHat 7.2's build of pygtk. I saw an apology, and a reference to a
technique to work around it -- to make sure that g_thread_init was
invoked before importing gtk.

Now, I'm an admitted neophyte with pygtk, so I need to ask: is there a
way to work around without adding extra dependencies or C-language
extensions? Or is the only practical workaround to force all GUI
updates into the main thread?

Note here that I'm considering "force all users to upgrade their
installation" to be an unsatisfactory workaround, though I certainly
see the value in such a requirement.

Thanks,
--G.
