I maintain wallpapoz and as far as I am correct wallpapoz is also affected: wallpapoz uses gnome.PARAM_APP_DATADIR gnome.program_init gnome.help_display Instead, if OLPC members wants to use only non-binding part, would you consider to create gnome-python2-base (for example) and to make gnome-python2 depend on gnome-python2-base?
