I'm surprised this would be the error messages you get if GTK wasn't
working, but that does look like a possibility. (Or a strange version of
PyGTK).

Gnome is not required for any of gEDA, just GTK. If GTK works for
gschem, gattrib etc.., then it "should" be possible to make it work with
the Python based tools. If not, then you may just have to start the
tools individually from the command line.

BTW.. what distro is this?
