Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 53, in <module>
    import gtk
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 64, in <module>
    _init()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 52, in _init

Additional info:
xterm can start from the same konsole, so there isn't a problem with the DISPLAY variable, which is set to:
:0
