Hi,

Ethan Glasser-Camp reported in Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/319987 that the
python bindings are segfaulting when running this script:
import gtk
import vte

w = gtk.Window()
v = vte.Terminal()
w.add(v)
v.show()
w.show()
black = gtk.gdk.Color(0, 0, 0)
white = gtk.gdk.Color(255, 255, 255)
palette = [gtk.gdk.Color(255,255,255) for x in range(8)]
v.set_colors(black, white, palette)
gtk.main()

He explains:
"
I tracked the problem down to the python/vte.c file, in                         
_wrap_vte_terminal_set_colors(), line 472 or so:                                
                                                                                
    if (PySequence_Check(py_palette)) {                                         
        palette_size = PySequence_Length(py_palette);                           
        palette = g_malloc(sizeof(GdkColor) * palette_size);                    
        for (i = 0; i < palette_size; i++) {                                    
            item = PySequence_GetItem(py_palette, i); /* INCREFs */             
            if (!pyg_boxed_check(item, GDK_TYPE_COLOR)) {                       
                g_free(palette);                                                
                PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "palette should be a list of   
GdkColors");                                                                    
                return NULL;                                                    
            }                                                                   
            /*           Good here              */                              
            palette[i] = *((GdkColor*)pyg_boxed_get(py_palette, GdkColor));     
            /*      Never get here -- ^^^^^ segfaults!!       */                
            printf("about to dec\n");                                           
            Py_DECREF(item);                                                    
            printf("decremented successfully\n");                               
        }                                                                       
    }                                                                           
                                                                                
I think py_palette in this line should be changed to item. I haven't done any   
strenuous testing, but this appears to make the program not seg fault.
