Okay, out of desperation and frustration I've wiped my Python/SciPy/
etc.. setup and reinstalled from scratch. I've tested it with my app
and all the numpy and matplotlib functionality is there and working.
My sys.path seems to be back to normal:

IDLE 1.2.4
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['C:\\Python25\\Lib\\idlelib', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python25.zip',
'C:\\Python25\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python25\\lib', 'C:\\Python25\\lib\\plat-
win', 'C:\\Python25\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python25', 'C:\\Python25\\lib\
\site-packages']

I will now re-install PyGTK and see if it mysteriously decides to work
this time.
