creating /var/www/.gnome2 does fix it

i couldn't find a way to reproduce this outside of the server, but here is a
simple set up to load in apache:

apache conf
--
  <Location "/test-gst">
     SetHandler python-program
     PythonPath "['/tmp/test-gst'] + sys.path"
     PythonHandler gst_test
  </Location>
--

the file /tmp/test-gst/gst_test.py reads:
--
import gst
print "coucou"
--

cheers, piem
