I've never used pygtk, but i'll just mention that the library stacks on 
windows would look something like:

wxpython -- wxwindows -- win32api

pygtk -- gtk -- win32api

Which is a bit more even. Also, aren't there other render-modules for wx 
under linux than the gtk one? It's been a while since i played with it, 
so I'm not really sure anymore-- all i remeber is that wx itself was a 
gigantic pain to build at the time (or was it the python part that 
failed... :\ ).

I really don't know if it's appropriate to base this decision on how 
many libraries it takes for you to use the toolkit though...
