I think wxGTK 2.4.0 from http://www.wxpython.org/ bypasses the GTK2
problem by linking with GTK 1.x rather than 2.x.

There were some other minor patches needed for globus.spec and
AccessGrid.spec.in. The patches I used for globus.spec and
AccessGrid.spec.in are found in this file:

Are the menus for you version working okay? Fortunately Gnome-2.6 which
comes with Fedora Core 2 is able to handle legacy Gnome-1 menus (unlike
FC1), except there is a problem with menu entries that use a URL, they
don't work. e.g. for DevelopersDocumentation.desktop, the following 2
lines:

Exec=/usr/share/doc/Developer/index.html
Type=URL

had to be changed to:

URL=file:///usr/share/doc/Developer/index.html
Type=Link


I don't know if RH7.3 is able to handle 'Type=Link' rather than
'Type=URL'?

I've also put up a RPMs, but it doesn't have the URL menu patches, here:
