The thing is, importing gtk requires DISPLAY to be set in the environment.
We don't want this, since configure/make/install should not fail
when run from the text console.

I made the change using gobject.pygtk_version last night. Before the
pkg-config was used, but it actually checked for the pygtk-dev, not
the pygtk proper. We don't need the -dev libs now that we're free from
the grampslib and are 100% Python.=20

It seems that the needed pygtk versions have gobject.pygtk_version=20
defined. So we may still use the test, and the failure means older pygtk.
I have modified configure slightly so that it does not throw a traceback=20
anymore.=20

Better suggestions are welcome :-)
