Warning:  beginner questions

Background:
I'm working on SUN/Solaris 9.
I have python2.3 running (also 2.2.2, if necessary)
I want to create GUIs that allow the input and rendering
of Arabic script, in particular, and of Unicode text in general.

Questions:
Is PyGTK the best Python-accessible GUI-building option for me?
        
What do I need to install?  And in what order?
        gtkglarea   (I've got the download, but what is it?)
        libglade    (I've got the download, but what is it?)
        
        pygtk-2.0.0  (I've got the download)
        anything else?
        
My python2.3 interpreter is /opt/Misc/bin/python2.3

I assume that I should install pygtk in /opt/Misc/lib/python2.3/site-packages/
Right?

Will the following incantation do what I need (after a 'cd' into the
gunzipped, untarred pygtk-2.0.0/ directory)?

setenv PYTHON /opt/Misc/bin/python2.3
./configure --prefix=/opt/Misc
make
make install

Sincere thanks in advance,

Ken
