Grrr, it is in pygobject2 for CentOS6.x:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/6/idpl/17475339/dir/centos_6/com/pygobject2-2.20.0-5.el6.i686.rpm
but I simply cannot find where it lives on CentOS5.x, maybe nowhere?

So until someone figures that out, all I can suggest is that you build
from source using the v0.0.7.x branch:
svn co https://xpra.org/svn/Xpra/tags/v0.0.7.x/
Or grab one of the beta packages I've just built from the 0.1.x branch:
https://winswitch.org/beta/

Note: the in-the-works 0.1.0 release will drop support for old buggy
versions of pygtk, this includes the one in CentOS 5.x, so soon would be
a good time to upgrade..

Cheers
Antoine
