Since I apparently can't convince you that Sketch 0.7 won't work with
GTK2 you might want to try the Patch just I posted about :)

It seems unlikely that your GCC version can't handle this. It should
have had problems with most of the Python header files as well and with
many of the Sketch c-files that are compiled before _skgtkmodule.c.

The parse error could also mean that PyObject_HEAD simply isn't defined
at all. What messages were printed before the one above?
