Seeing that gdialog is essentially a compatibility wrapper for the
gdialog that went with Gnome 1 (or something like that), it doesn't
seem like it's worth much hassle to keep it. Hell, Fedora doesn't
ship a compat package for things like python 2.4, which is far more
widely used and more recent. Keeping an ancient compat script around
seems like a waste of Matthias' time.
