Hi James, Just built Debian packages for pygtk 0.6.11 and 1.99.13.

This works fine.

pygtk 1.99.13 does not seem to do that. pygtk.pth is missing so far.
No problem currently as I did not want to make the new version the
default already.

This file is also only installed from 0.6.11 is seems.

Sorry, but I can't see how this can work if pygtk.pth only includes
the default version. With that setup only a single installation of
pygtk will be in sys.path. But pygtk.py seems to look into just that
variable to find out the available versions of pygtk.
Perhaps you just meant to say that all versions should be in pygtk.pth
with the default version first?
Thanks for all your work on this software
