I've moved pygtk.require() into the main glchess (src/glchess.in) file so it really is getting called first. Since this issue is not happening for me in Ubuntu Gutsy I'll need someone else to confirm. The change is committed to the gnome-games-2.2.0 branch.

Why call pygtk.require at all?
Yes I know about http://faq.pygtk.org/index.py?req=show&file=faq02.004.htp , but for all other libraries used, we seam to rely only on the packagers. And after all, do anybody really use (py)gtk < 2 today?
