fixed configure check for gnomeapplet python module (406 bytes, patch)

Description Frederic Peters 2008-12-16 12:15:20 UTC 
Recently a configure check has been added to detect the gnomeapplet module.

However, in order to work with non-standard installation paths it is required to do "import pygtk; pygtk.require('2.0')" first to get the Python system path correctly configured.

Also it looks like gnomeapplet (may?) require threading to be enabled:

>>> import gnomeapplet

** (.:11887): WARNING **: g_thread_init() has not been called. ORBit2 would like to use threads, so the application should have called g_thread_init(NULL) before any GLib or GLib-using API. Calling g_thread_init() now here inside the libORBit-2 library is too late, so instead threads won't be used by ORBit2. This might have bad side-effects. Fix the application!

GLib-ERROR **: The thread system is not yet initialized.
aborting...

Thanks a lot for the patch. I committed it to trunk and gnome-2-24 branch.
