Do you have gnome widgets in your xml file?  You'll need to import gnome.ui

See the pygtk FAQ:

http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=all

You might also try putting the line

import pygtk; pygtk.require('2.0')

at the top of your file.  Also try running with python -v so you can see
what modules are being loaded.

In fact, libglade2 *only* works with glade 2 files.  glade 1 files have to
be converted first.

I've never encountered this problem with my own glade 2 files.  However, I
don't have a "pristine" RH 9 installation to play with right now.

I suggest taking this problem to the pygtk mailing list.  If it's not
quickly fixable then it needs to be fixed somewhere up the line.
