Problem with this: No matter which python-gnome release shall be used the upstream will use "import gnome.ui". So which binding should he get? I am in favor of giving him the new bindings by default. If anybody really needs the old stuff again we can still put it into another directory and have python prepend it to the search path. Let's see if such a package is really needed. I won't have a problem with maintaining it but I rather spend the time on more important stuff... Thanks Torsten
