Well I agree that it's cool to be using Python. But there is a
difference between saying "hey, we use this language and it's cool" and
then putting the icon in the top-left corner of a website. Usually, the
top left corner is where people expect to see something that tells them
there they are, not a series of scout badges.
Having the icon where it is suggests that we're somehow under the
control of python.org, or perhaps we're a joint venture between the
python and gnome teams, or whatever. There's no other logo in to the
page, so perhaps it's the PyGTK logo? I think is just not clear what
it's saying and doing on the page.
The GNOME icon on the other hand I can accept, because in my mind PyGTK
is somehow a sub-project of GNOME, so the "this is our logo" and
ownership ideas apply.

Third, I don't think there should be a Python icon in pride of place in
the top left. Python is relevant but it in no way 'owns' PyGTK any more
than GNU owns a project that employs the GCC compiler. The icon also
doesn't mean anything except to people who already know what it is. How
about just a hyperlink from the text in the green 'intro' box?
One feature of PyGTK over another set of bindings is that we're smart
enough to be using Python. I think that is pretty important in it of
itself. It's something that sets it apart from just using vanilla GTK
with plain old C code.
