All available builds of pygtk seem to SLOT pygtk to 1.2 or 2 -- see below -- which means that the porthole 0.3.1 ebuild won't emerge properly, because it looks for a pygtk that's slotted to 0. If you grep for a slot of 2 in the ebuild file, it compiles and runs. I'm not uploading a patch because SLOTing is still a bit of mystery to me and I don't want to upload something that might break someone's system. Plus it's changing one letter.

oops :) Not sure how I missed that, my tests worked somehow. Fixed in CVS, Thanks.
