gnome-python-desktop "contains" the GnomePrint bindings, is not
"using" them, so I think it's not even worth discussing to remove them
from there, it's different than modules to be ported to GtkPrint,
there is nothing to port.

Tomboy was "using" GnomePrint, the bindings provide the library, so
unless GnomePrint is not going to be shipped anymore there is no point
in talking about "porting".

The same apply here, python bindings for gnomeVFS are included in
gnome-python so unless Gnome is not shipping it anymore as part of the
platform, both gnome-python and gnome-python-desktop are not "using"
GnomeVFS so there is really nothing to be done there.
