Yes, I had a similar problem. I haven't looked at the Python/GGI link
for a while yet, but the problem description sounds very familiar. I
read somewhere a recent update fixed the problem, and as mentioned
elsewhere in thread, it appears to be the case.

Most recently when I tried I had some new problem, which was weird as I
thought I had it nailed. When I get time I'll look at it and post a
description here (if I don't solve it :).
