That is the only way to explicitely set the program name and version. In
a future version, it will probably require doing something like:
import gnome.ui, gnome.whatever # import all gnome components used ...
gnome.init('program-name', 'version')
It is necessary to import gnome.ui before libglade if your interface uses
gnome widgets.
