So, compiling gnome-python apps with a prefix=/opt/gnome creates the problem upon installation that it creates an /opt/gnome/lib/python2.x directory and puts things there. Unfortunately, not everything works having half site-packages on the gnome folder and other half on /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages. For example, after installing the gnome-bluetooth application by Edd Dubnill, it can't find the pygtk (which is installed fine). Also, it seems that pyorbit is also installed on gnome's python folders, while gnome-python and pygtk are on /usr. A mess.
This task depends upon

gnome-python and pyorbit have gnome dependencies in /opt/gnome, so they go in /opt/gnome. Gnome-common modifies /usr/lib/python2.4/sitecustomize.py to include the stuff in /opt/gnome/wherever-python-is.
