... it's me again ... I can not even run a very simple gtk app:


import gtk
win = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
win.set_title("GTK Simple Test")
win.connect("delete-event", gtk.main_quit)
win.realize()
win.show_all()
gtk.main()

It's the same behavior - switching back to python-gtk2: 2.12.1-1 
everything works fine again.
