[Python-apps-team] Bug#764611: sonata: fails to launch since GLib upgrade to 2.42

[Dave]

I’m modifying the severity of the bug because sonata is no longer
seriously broken.

Here is a quote from libgtk2.0-0 changelog which could help the
maintainers of sonata:
"gtk+2.0 (2.24.25-1) unstable; urgency=medium
(…)
* New upstream release
- tolerates incorrect use of gtk_main() after initializing threads with
gtk_init() but before taking the lock with gdk_threads_enter(), which
has historically worked on GNU systems because glibc's mutexes are more
permissive than the new implementation in GLib 2.42
(Closes: #758619, #763602, #763625, #763690, #763735, but the affected
packages should still use Gdk's threading API properly)
(…)
