Fedora7 has something called gnome-python2-extras
with a scheme file
  /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gtkmozembed.defs
but that doesn't seem to help

Trying the F8 version leads to dependency hell
Ok looking a bit further reveals the existence of
  gnome-python2-gtkmozembed-2.14.3-7.fc7.x86_64.rpm
which installs
  I tried to compile the src.rpm, but could not resolve a dependency:
   gecko-devel = 1.8.1.10 is needed
Oh, well, just install the precompiled rpm.

==> Now "import gtkmozembed" works in my F7.

==> BUT: now I get
 File "/home/jbase/checkouts/gramps/gtrunk/src/DataViews/GoogleView.py",
line 101, in set_mozembed_proxy
    proxy = os.environ['http_proxy']
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/UserDict.py", line 22, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'http_proxy'

OK, that's fixable, the code setting proxy SB something like
"""
  data = ""
  if 'http_proxy' in os.environ:
    proxy = os.environ['http_proxy']
    ...
"""

==> BUT: then I get
 File "/home/jbase/checkouts/gramps/gtrunk/src/DataViews/GoogleView.py",
line 128, in set_mozembed_proxy
    fd = file(MOZEMBED_PATH+MOZEMBED_SUBPATH+"/prefs.js","w+")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/browser/prefs.js'

ok, (maybe?) need something like
"""
   if not os.path.isdir(MOZEMBED_PATH+MOZEMBED_SUBPATH):
       os.makedirs(MOZEMBED_PATH+MOZEMBED_SUBPATH)
before the
   fd = file(MOZEMBED_PATH+MOZEMBED_SUBPATH+"/prefs.js","w+")

==> Nope: that gives a segfault.
  I guess there may need to be more "else-branch" bulletproofing?

Or maybe there's something broken in F7's gtkmozembed?
Or maybe I've introduced some library mis-match in my attempts to
install out-of-repository rpms.

On a minor note:
  File "/home/jbase/checkouts/gramps/gtrunk/src/GoogleView.py", line 246
  TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

On another minor note:
  To disable GoogleView, I have to edit 2 files, and change 3 things.
    Config/_GrampsConfigKeys.py .. "DATA_VIEWS: .."
    DataViews/__init__.py .. "import .." and "DATA_VIEWS = .."
  It seems like there might be some better way to do this [someday?]
    perhaps via a registration or auto-detect process
