This is #1115350, which is fixed in unstable but not yet fixed in 
experimental.

Ideally gnome-tweaks should switch from Gio.DesktopAppInfo to 
GioUnix.DesktopAppInfo to avoid a deprecation warning, but that wouldn't 
be urgent if you weren't using the pygobject from experimental.

The pygobject in experimental is known not to be ready yet (#1099164), 
which is why it's only in experimental and not in unstable.
