I think I had mentioned that GRCC could import the non-gui stuff, from
the grc/python directory, and that would avoid the import gtk statement,
which is messing up the ability to do non gui stuff.

So looking into grc/python

It looks like only the Param.py would cause a runtime import issue with
gtk/pygtk. In this case, that imprt statement could be moved to the
indentation level where it is used (file dialog).

Did you notice other modules pulling gtk imports that should not have?
Or were you unable to rewrite the GRCC to completely avoid importing
modules from grc/gui?
