Bug#791705: system-config-printer: TypeError error when trying to change printer properties with system-config-printer

[Agustin Martin]

Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.4.6-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Today I tried to change some printer properties in my sid box by means of
system-config-printer. However, it become unresponsive showing the error
message

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 542, in dests_iconview_item_activated
    parent=self.PrintersWindow)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/printerproperties.py", line 579, in show
    self.load (name, host=host, encryption=encryption, parent=parent)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/printerproperties.py", line 1478, in load
    editable=editable)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/printerproperties.py", line 846, in add_job_option
    self.option_changed)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/options.py", line 88, in OptionWidget
    return OptionNumeric(name, v, s, on_change)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/options.py", line 503, in __init__
    self.selector = Gtk.SpinButton(adj, climb_rate=1.0, digits=digits)
TypeError: GObject.__init__() takes exactly 0 arguments (1 given)

This made impossible to change printer properties using
system-config-printer. I can kill the system-config-printer window with the
mouse. No problem found yet in my today's updated testing box.

Also, a number of warnings about Gtk properties is shown on program start
(Time to ugrade to a more recent version?)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
