As much as I would like gtkmm to be officially included too, I think the
policy is
a) The Platform set is a supported development platform. - We probably can't
demand the same API guarantees and schedule from pygtk as from the other
GNOME libs. GEP 10 seems to be about the Desktop rather than the Platform
anyway.

b) The Desktop set is about apps - we only include libs if one of the
Desktop apps needs it. Just adding pygtk wouldn't "Improve overall desktop
usability".
