Reply from the author about gXlib:

"""
python-xlib is an uncommon package.  I absolutely despise having to install an
obscure dependency (when downloading a source package), and I don't want to
make anyone do the same.  It's fine with package managers, but sucks from
source.  So I took the source, cut it down to what I needed, and included it (I
really just needed a single feature from it).
"""

What i could do is in the %install section don't use the python installer but
install each file seperately, excluding the gXlib dir and adding the
python-xlib package to Requires ... but that seems like an awful lot of work
and error prone. I could also just let it sit there in a subdir of the package
and IMO it won't conflict with anything. Suggestions?
