Bug#348240: gdesklets: You need a recent version of PyGTK to run this program.

[Knud Soerensen]

Package: gdesklets
Version: 0.35.2-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When i start gdesklets i get:
Starting gdesklets-daemon...
Connecting to daemon [ ###         ]You need a recent version of PyGTK 
to run this program.

Cannot establish connection to daemon: timeout!
The log file might help you solving the problem.
---------------------------------------------

and a grep gives 
grep -A 5 -B 5 PyGTK /usr/lib/gdesklets/gdesklets-daemon
# setup GTK
try:
    import pygtk
    pygtk.require("2.0")
except StandardError:
    print _("You need a recent version of PyGTK to run this program.\n")
    sys.exit(1983)
