Looks like the same problem as:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.zero-install.devel/300

The actual cause of this error is being thrown away by pygtk. Googling,
quite a few people seem to be having this problem without Zero Install,
too.

I'll try rebuilding the latest version of pygtk and putting that up, maybe
with some extra debugging info. I'll need to find another computer,
though, as this one has GTK 2.4 and I think there are some binary problems
using programs compiled against 2.4 on older GTK versions.

ROX-Lib should automatically fall back to a locally-installed version of
pygtk if the 0install version doesn't work, but you can force it to do
that by setting the ROXLIB_DISABLE_ZEROINSTALL environment variable (which
also prevents programs trying to get ROX-Lib itself though Zero Install).

You could also use 0divert to point
/uri/0install/zero-install.sourceforge.net/libs/pygtk-2/Linux-ix86/2.0.0
somewhere that doesn't exist, which should have the same effect.
