Comment 2 for bug 392493

Hi Chris, I run python 2.4 (default with RH 5.1) and everything works fine after this change. I tried upgrading my version of python before applying this change but it's a seriously awkward and non-standard process so I would prefer to avoid this where possible! In the end, for this to work, I would have to upgrade my entire glib distro, as well as several python packages which don't come with the default. Please don't drop 2.4 support!
