pygtk2 bug fix update

Details

Updated pygtk2 packages that fix two bugs are now available.

PyGTK is an extension module for python that gives you access to the GTK+
widget set. Just about anything you can write in C with GTK+ you can write
in python with PyGTK (within reason), but with all the benefits of using a
high-level scripting language.

These updated pygtk2 packages provide fixes for the following bugs:

* a reference-counting issue would cause certain applications such as the
Revelation password manager to crash at startup.

* virt-manager would crash upon startup due to the refence-counting issue.

* the bindings file gtk-extrafuncs.defs, which is required by certain
applications, was not being installed with pygtk.

* a versioning error which would cause yum to prevent to install packages
that were not actually in conflict.

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated pygtk2 packages, which
resolve these issues.
