[Mageia-dev] Gtk+3.0 bindings API break, what to do?

Tue Mar 6 19:34:30 CET 2012

Hi!
+
+As per https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657385
+gtk_menu_popup_for_device() has been renamed to gtk_menu_popup() in
+introspection, causing at least Menu.popup() in python-gi to break.
+
+Ubuntu has reverted it:
+https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/923171
+
+Attached are alternative one-liner patches to either revert the API
+break in Gtk+3.0 (dont_rename_annotation.patch, from Ubuntu), or to
+adapt python-gobject3 to the API change
+(python-gi-adapt-for-gnome657385.patch, written by me).
+
+Since gtk+3.0 is unmaintained, I'm posting here to ask which way to go.
+
+
+This affects e.g. gcdemu, right-clicking the traybar icon causes this error:
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+  File "/usr/bin/gcdemu", line 688, in on_popup_menu
+    self.menu.popup(None, None, status_icon.position_menu, self, button,
+activate_time)
+  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py", line
+1381, in popup
+    self.popup_for_device(None, parent_menu_shell, parent_menu_item,
+func, data, button, activate_time)
+AttributeError: 'Menu' object has no attribute 'popup_for_device'
