Justin,

So the problem is with the build of freedesktop/dbus-python.

Hmmm... I wonder if the configuration process is picking up one or more
apps out of your distro in place of apps from GARNOME.  Take a look at
the build log and makefiles for dbus-python.

I never got this fixed on FC6, and have the problem with CentOS 5 now too.  Is the only way around this is to remove garnome(what has worked).  Install 
python-2.5 and start over?  What exactly to you put in gar.conf.make?

Just change these settings and maybe PKG_CONFIG?

# If you want to use a different version of python everywhere
# change this
PYTHON = $(shell which python)
PYVER = $(shell $(PYTHON) -c "import sys; print sys.version[:3]")
PYTHONPATH=$(main_libdir)/python$(PYVER)/site-packages:$(main_libdir)/python$(PYVER)/site-packages/gtk-2.0
