Bug#1032448: gnome-initial-setup: no longer starts

Source: gnome-initial-setup
Version: 43.2-3
Severity: serious

After installing gnome-initial-setup from Unstable on my Debian
Testing system, gnome-initial-setup no longer starts. When run in a
terminal, I get a warning about
Invalid cast from 'GtkBox' to 'GtkListBowRow'

It looks like this issue was caused by one of the new keyboard patches.

gnome-initial-setup 43.2-3 did start for me on login at least once so
it seems it works occasionally.

Here are 3 variations of how to test to make sure it's working. I
guess I should add these to a README somewhere.

Test Case 1
---------------
rm ~/.config/gnome-initial-setup-done
Log out then log back in
gnome-initial-setup should automatically start

Test Case 2
----------------
Create a new user
Log in as the new user
gnome-initial-setup should automatically start

Test Case 3
----------------
Run this command
/usr/libexec/gnome-initial-setup --existing-user

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
