Ah, thats might interesting and helpful! I did not have it installed, but now I 
do. Now my "exaile" is working again :-) , and reportbug doesn't print as many 
error messages on startup. Now it is only:

** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkWindow)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkInvisible)
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GtkObject)

which I will live with without reporting it since it will probably be fixed some 
time later.

Should I just close this report, or should some package depend on the 
gir1.2-glib package?

Thanks again Emilio!
