	If you're committed to Gnome as your desktop, you will likely install it in the /usr hierarchy. If less committed, or you prefer to install Gnome in an easy to remove location, the /opt hierarchy may be more suitable. If installing in a non-standard location (where ${GNOME_PREFIX} != /usr), you may have to set and or modify the PYTHONPATH variable to include the ${GNOME_PREFIX}/lib/python2.5/site-packages directory.
