Actually, it might be a PyGTK problem. Looks like the infamous
ref-counting bug ("this object is only referenced by signal handlers, so
I'm going to wipe __dict__"):

Indeed. I guess there was a need to be compatible with RedHat 8.0 (where
'import gtk' has to get 2.0 by default) and everyone else (where it has to
get 1.2). Perhaps there should be a warning if you forget to import pygtk?

Doesn't pygtk.py search sys.path? In that case, it should still find stuff
in /usr/local, even if python is in /usr (provided /usr/local is in the
default search path). I think there's a problem if you've installed some
gtk-2.0 bits to one prefix and some to another, though:

(at the end; I should have opened a separate bug report)
