I'm using RH 7.3.  You are right, gtkgl is optional.

I had to install lots of <package>-devel RPMs to obtain the necessary 
libraries and header files to build gnome-python.  It seemed like a very 
labor intensive process.  I had to make extensive use of rpmfind.net to 
find the necessary RPMs, and then find what dependencies I was missing.
Some of this pain is unavoidable, based on the nature of RPMs and the 
tools that manipulate them.

However,  is there a README file that explains which RPMs are required 
to build PyGtk2?  If not, who would I contribute this information to? 
I'd hate to think that everyone has to figure out all by themselves, the 
hard way!
