It works for me with a wrongly-set DISPLAY variable..

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ unset DISPLAY
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ export DISPLAY
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:12:42) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gtk
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:72:
GtkWarning: could not open display
  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
>>> gtk
<module 'gtk' from
'/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.pyc'>
>>> 


Can you please be a bit more specific on how to trigger that error?
Seems to me it can be a problem, and we don't really need to "import
gtk" in the setup code (Are we doing this?).
