No; you should set PYTHONPATH to
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0/
If you want "import gtk" to work straight away. I *think* that if you
do:
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/
Then the following:
import pygtk
pygtk.require("2.0")
import gtk
Might work.

Yes, it does. If you set pythonpath to "/usr/xxx" it will look first in
/usr/xxx, and then in the default system path. To debug these things,
use:
strace -eopen python xxx.py
And look at the open() system calls.
Take care,
