Please try again. The plug-in gtkcons.py desperately needed porting
to gtk2 (which is done now). Only adding pygtk.require("2.0") did
not fix it.
But the file python-startup.py does _not_ need pygtk nor any UI code. 
It is just used to load the plug-ins, which may or may not depend 
on pygtk. I.e. at least half of my PyDia plug-ins don't use any 
pygtk code which makes them work even if you don't have pygtk 
but only pydia.

Having plug-ins without UI is common with our C plug-ins, why should
there be a difference with plug-ins written in Python ?
