Given that most/all packages are gnome-dependent, we should probably
just have gnome-python-extra include the gnome bits we want, and leave
pygtk-extra for whenever it becomes necessary. 

People could request addition of pygtk-only modules in
gnome-python-extra for now if they wanted "official" distribution from
pygtk.org.
