You need to tell us what versions of Python and PyGTK you're using.

The 'gtk' module appears to do some locale initialisation; maybe it interacts
with the global locale if you're using Python 2.x. You would need to look
at the C source code for the _gtk module because that's where the local
initialisation is done.
