python bindings & gmainloop

[Sean Meiners]

Good news.  0.50.0 (plus figuring out how to make the gmainloop use threads 
properly) seems to have completely solved the problem.  Sorry for the trouble 
=)

PS: I would have tried upgrading sooner, but a cursory glance at the python 
bindings in CVS didn't look all that much different from 0.35.2.  Guess they 
were just different enough.
