Patch to fix glib-mkenums on libwnck (963 bytes, patch)
2009-08-09 18:45 UTC, Arun Raghavan 		committed Details | Review

Description Jim Ramsay 2009-08-02 16:37:24 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
python -c "import wnck; print wnck.WINDOW_STATE_URGENT"

Stack trace:

** (-c:20623): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as flags when in fact it is of type 'GEnum'

** (-c:20623): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowActions' as flags when in fact it is of type 'GEnum'

** (-c:20623): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowMoveResizeMask' as flags when in fact it is of type 'GEnum'
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 216750

  • File "<string>", line 1 in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'WINDOW_STATE_URGENT' 

Other information:
Other potentially relevant packages on my system:
python-2.6.2
pygtk-2.14.1

Note that if I downgrade libwnck to 2.26.1, I get the expected non-error output:
<flags WNCK_WINDOW_STATE_URGENT of type WnckWindowState>

Patch to fix glib-mkenums on libwnck

This patch fixes libwnck's Makefile.am to correctly generate g_flag_register_static() for flag types (rather than always calling g_enum_register_static()). This fixes the problem with the Python bindings.
Comment 2 Nirbheek Chauhan 2009-09-10 14:48:25 UTC 
This is still an issue in 2.27.x branch, can we get this reviewed before 2.28.x ?
Comment 3 Gustavo Carneiro 2009-09-10 15:09:50 UTC 
Why do you post a patch for libwnck in a gnome-python-desktop bug report?  Worse than useless...  Reassigning...
