Converting PyGTK Script to EXE results in old Windows 2K GUI Look

My application gets the old Windows style/look when I compile my PyGTK Application into an .exe.

How I can I preserve the Windows XP GUI look and style when I compile my Python/PyGTK script with Py2Exe or PyInstaller?

Is there a special .dll I need to include, do I need to create my own .manifest file and link it in my Py2Exe script(if so how)? In Native WinAPI I can toggle Windows XP style by using the function InitCommonControls();, is there a PyGTK equivalent function that I can use?

Note: If I run my PyGTK script in the python interpreter then the GUI has the correct Windows XP modern look. But when I compile that same script into an .exe using Py2Exe or PyInstaller, the GUI of the .exe has the old Windows 2K look and not the modern Windows XP look.

Any ideas on what I need to do to preserve the Windows XP look?

Check if your are using: 

'bundle_files': 3

and copy the GTK+ directories into the dist folder (i.e. etc, share, lib).
