There is a significant difference between PyGTK and the standard
library.  People who are writing plugins expect the full standard
library to be available.  (Which includes Tkinter.)

They know that PyGTK and PyQT are extras, and if they are needed, will
arrange for them to be installed.

This is a fragile approach, because not every import bug is reported
quickly.  This graph-ancestry bug, for example, has been present since
September 2005.  I don't know how many users have encountered it before
Paul.  I hope not many.
