Hi!
I am facing this bug in debian testing with the exact same
Traceback (except the Gtk-WARNING lines on top), and removing
~/.config/autostart does not resolve the issue.
However, patching the file
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gtweak/utils.py
by changing the line
self._desktop_file = appinfo.get_filename()
to
self._desktop_file = appinfo.get_filename(appinfo)
appears to fix the issue.
I should add that I used ChatGPT as a quick way to find a solution and this is what it suggested. So I am not sure whether this fix might have
side effects or whether updating to glib2.0 (>= 2.86) would make this fix redundant or conflict with it.
best,
msp
