making gdesklets work: PYTHONPATH issues



To make gdesklets work, 

set:

PYTHONPATH="/opt/garnome/lib/python2.3/site-packages:/opt/garnome/lib/python2.3/site-packages/gtk-2.0"

Follow up:

	fix the GARNOME README

Discussion
----------
I was "surprised" to find that gdesklets was "broken".  After reading
the actual python script I ran 

	% gdesklets check

which provided yet another surprise

        GNOME python bindings (gnome-python2) version >= 2.6.0 are
        "required."

Hmmm... GARNOME-2.10.1 installs version 2.10.0 so what is the problem?

Answer: the PYTHON search patch.

My garnome-session script, which was taken directly from the GARNOME
README, sets 

	PYTHONPATH="/opt/garnome/lib/python2.3/site-packages"

Seems python-2.3.5 is not all that clever about searching the subfolders
of paths that are not rooted under /usr. [why is that???]
