Yes, that's it. This means Debugger, Vcs and Builder.

PyGObject uses GObject Introspection to generate bindings at runtime
while PyGtk generates bindings statically, so using PyGObject greatly
simplifies building bindings.

Another issue is that PyGtk isn't going to be supported for a long time
(gtk+ 3 support was added only to help transition to PyGObject).
