Bug#550502: python-wnck: Abort on "Attempt to add property GtkMenuBar::local..."

[Ulrik Sverdrup]

Package: python-wnck
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: important


Importing wnck aborts the interpreter or a Python application.
Output:

---

It could be related to bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549271 (The GEnum
errors above), however that bug does no mention of Aborting a running
python program.

This is (at least) an important bug since it violently aborts my
wnck-dependant python applications.
