Patch to change init() back to _init in pygtk's gtk/__init__.py

The following program:

import pygtk
pygtk.require("2.0")
import gtk

fails at the last line with a fairly long pause (which is normal), then:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 3, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 82, in
<module>
    init()
NameError: name 'init' is not defined

Looking at /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py, I see that
there's an _init() function defined, but the code on line 82 is trying to call
init() instead.  The code appears to come from a patch added to OE in rev
903edcf621d6b2974f60aceef8e79c2816561136 ("add
prevent_to_get_display_during_import.patch").  That patch moves an _init() call
into an "if not hasattr(sys.modules['__main__'], 'python_launcher_enabled'):"
block.

But the patch also changes _init() into init(), which doesn't exist.

A patch to current OE is attached, to change the function called by the patch
back to _init().
