Is it possible you have both installed (eg, on a redhat 9 install the
default pygtk is 1.99.14) and that you are importing the wrong one

This looks like you imported gtk in your app/script before either
1) doing the pygtk.require thing
2) importing matplotlib first
If you do either of these, does everything work fine for you?

I don't use pygtk.require() myself, since I'm just writing small
programs to run on my own system which has python 2.3.2 and pygtk 2.0
installed together.
The problem was in the import order
I was doing:
import gtk
import mylibrary # which imports matplotlib
and was getting the warning message. Changing to
import mylibrary
import gtk
stops the warning appearing.
