Thanks. libwnck is already installed, so I downloaded gnome-python- desktop-2.32.0.tar.bz2 from ftp.gnome.org, which apparently contains the Python wnck module. I was intending to make the whole thing, but then install only the bit I need. Unfortunately when it came to compile wnck, the following error was displayed: libtool: link: `/usr/local/lib/libxcb-aux.la' is not a valid libtool archive Indeed it isn't. There is no such file, even though libxcb is installed. Any thoughts?
