Bug#633769: python-gtk2: crashes as soon as a call to set_events is done

[Nicolas Évrard]

Package: python-gtk2
Version: 2.24.0-2
Severity: normal


Please see the following transcript of a python session:

>>> import gtk
>>> rootwin = gtk.gdk.get_default_root_window()
>>> rootwin.set_events(gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS_MASK)
>>> The program '.' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'.
  (Details: serial 481 error_code 10 request_code 2 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that
   is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.  To debug your
   program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this
   behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if
   you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

It does not look like I am doing something wrong.
