I'm also the author of a Python-based Gnome applet (ssh-agent-applet, 
http://freshfoo.com/wiki/CodeIndex/).

I had the same problem as you (with a toggle control) and like you, 
spent hours and hours looking for a way to force the initial setting. 
Even looked through the underlying pygtk and bonobo code didn't turn up 
a solution.

I found that the initial control value could be set from a C/C++ based 
applet but there seemed to be no equivalent way to do this from Python 
applets.

This thread is probably off-topic for this list. It might be best to 
hassle the Gnome or PyGTK developers.

Good luck. I'd love to know if you figure it out.

Regards,
Menno
