gnome.ui is doing scary things....

[marijn Vriens]

Anybody know what is going on here?:

Python 2.1.2 (#1, Jan 18 2002, 18:05:45) 
[GCC 2.95.4  (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> t = 10.5
>>> print t
10.5
>>> import gnome.ui
>>> t = 10.5
>>> print t
10.0
>>> 

And how I can make it to stop doing this? IMHO this _VERY_ evil
behavure, thank god I had unittests to catch it! Now how do I fix it?
Ohh, and by the way my version of python-gnome is 1.4.1-17 in
debian-woody.

Thanks,
     Marijn.
