Colin is talking about the mugshot stacker app, not the parts that would 
be potentially core.

(Though, I do think python is questionable for tray icons and daemons, 
since for whatever reason each python / pygtk process is so huge. An 
under-mentioned reason why we keep writing stuff in C is the 
multiple-process architecture of a GNOME/KDE style desktop, vs. the 
one-big-process approach of say Eclipse that makes per-runtime overhead 
less relevant. But this is pretty much a tangent.)
