Bug#457149: python-gnome2: does not map bonobo.ui properly

[Michael Johnson]

Package: python-gnome2
Version: 2.20.1-1
Severity: important


When I upgraded from 2.20.0-1 yesterday, quodlibet stopped working for me.
It would generate the following error when starting from the command line:

ImportError: could not import bonobo.ui
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/quodlibet", line 304, in ?
     main()
   File "/usr/bin/quodlibet", line 45, in main
     window = widgets.init(player, library)
   File "/usr/share/quodlibet/widgets.py", line 53, in init
     qltk.session.init()
   File "/usr/share/quodlibet/qltk/session.py", line 22, in init
     client.set_restart_style(gnome.ui.RESTART_IF_RUNNING)
AttributeError: '__main__.GnomeClient' object has no attribute  
'set_restart_style'

After digging around, I discovered that the bonobo.ui error was the  
problem.
It seems that the line

   import gnome, gnome.ui

is supposed to automatically load bonobo.ui. Unfortunately, it cannot, for
some reason. This, in turn, kill quodlibet.

Downgrading to python-gnome2 2.20.0-1 fixes the problem.

Thanks,
Michael
