You have the latest gtk, but you don't have the latest python-gtk
bindings -- or if you do, you have them installed via rpm, which
assumes you have python installed via rpm, which puts it into /usr,
not /usr/local.

Your system will tend to come apart if you liberally mix packages
installed by hand (which by policy install into /usr/local) and
packages installed with the package manager (in your case, rpm),
which install into /usr.
