So, to temporary close this thread - and thank you for your assistance:

Unity was causing me frustration that was clouding my thinking - I've now moved to Gnome-Shell and my levels of frustration are subsiding to a point where I can get on with my work and enjoy my computer again.

I believe that I must have some gnome/gtk2 libs installed as my code works with: 

    import pygtk, gtk, gobject

and, since my only known user has his software working again, I'm going to return to my work.

cheers,
Richard
