I suggest adding /opt/gnome/lib/python2.3 to the environment variable PYTHONPATH. This will allow GNOME applications that are written in Python to work with the basic, prefix=/opt/gnome install, without a lot of mving afterwards. This could be added in the /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh.

PYTHONPATH should be set to:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages:$GNOMEDIR/lib/python2.3/site-packages
That works for me.

Arjan, a good place for this would be Gnome's profile.d file, /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh

ok the python.install will add the line to gnome.sh and remove it on removal ;)
