To work around a bug in the Gnome Python bindings shipped by Jaunty (9.04), you need to issue the following commands after installing all dependencies:
sudo aptitude install chrpath
find /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0 \
    /usr/lib/python-support/python-gconf/python2.5/gtk-2.0 \
    -name "*.so" | sudo xargs chrpath -d
