getopts confusion

[Steve Holden]

Not familiar with the gnome.ui module, but you could import it in an
interactive session then see whether it has anything which conflist with
your code (using dir()). The from ... import * usage is dangerous,
especially when the module concerned has not been carefully designed not to
pollute its host namespace. I don't know whether that's the case for
gnome.ui.
