I'm actually planning to do help with development, if I can get up to speed for it.

Thanks much, Michael.  Turns out I should not have dealt with pygtk at all.
The current version of pygtk is 2.24.0; it dates back to October 2011. And it's
already been installed.

But reading hacking:building, I inferred I might need to work on gtk+ as well;
this took me into gtk+-3, with which apparently pygtk does not (yet) work.

And I already had pygtk/2.0 installed natively.
