Fixed by using %python_sitelib for these files.  I really should have tried an
all-arch build :(

An unfortunate side-effect is
  File listed twice: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtkextra
on 32-bit architectures (once for %python_sitelib, once for %python_sitearch); I
think that can be lived with.

The package does not build with current numpy.  Given that the last release of
python-gtkextra happened four years ago, I'd prefer avoiding extensive patching
(otherwise Fedora could become something like a new upstream for the package,
and I currently don't care about it that much).

If an user requests numpy support - or if you insist on it - I'll take a look
and make it build (if not work), but I'd rather not.  Other features of
python-gtkextra that don't build were dealt with in the same manner - by
removing them.

New package is available at
http://people.redhat.com/mitr/packaging/python-gtkextra-1.1.0-2.src.rpm , new
spec file uploaded at the original URL.
