Bug 636118

This is an F14 Blocker:

"All applications listed under the Applications menu must start successfully "

This was discussed at the 2010-10-01 blocker review meeting. We agreed it constitutes a blocker under the above criterion. Ray, if you could fix it ASAP that'd be great :)

still valid right now, but note a different error (or may be because I'm on a different system):

[adamw@adam VA - Next Music From Tokyo Vol 2]$ swell-foop 

** (seed:9936): CRITICAL **: Line 8 in /usr/share/gnome-games/swell-foop/main.js: GIrepositoryError Requiring namespace 'Gtk' version '2.0', but '3.0' is already loaded

I get:

$ swell-foop 
/usr/bin/swell-foop: line 4: 18657 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) /usr/bin/env seed /usr/share/gnome-games/swell-foop/main.js

It looks to me like seed is explicitly linking to GTK3 (via webkitgtk3), but swell-foop is requring GTK2 (via GtkClutter, which only exists for Gtk2 at the moment).

It *might* work to retarget seed for gtk2 via webkitgtk2, but the implications of that are unclear, I don't even know if it's supported.

The state of seed upstream is a bit messy; we may want to just drop those games for this cycle.

See: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2010-September/msg00077.html

An important bug here that we need to fix in the g-i bindings is that simply having GTK3 installed will pull it in when you do "var Gtk = imports.gi.Gtk;" unless a version is specified.

We need to make this version specification mandatory.

This particular issue is resolved in seed 2.31.91, which can be built against webkit-1.0. Unfortunately initializing GtkClutter fails -- init and initwithargs are both undefined. It *might* be a clutter-gtk bug -- any idea?

The seed build scripts are a bit broken, thus the failure of the 2.31.91-1 to build; it seems that the intent is to specify --with-webkit=3.0 by default, but this does not happen; passing this option manually fixes the build.

In the case of GtkClutter, unfortunately it does not seem to be merely a seed problem :(. Importing GtkClutter from gjs does not work either.

I cannot agree more. Funnily, of the two seed games, lightsoff does not have this problem because it imports GtkClutter *before* Gtk, and that constraints seed to only importing Gtk 2.0 (probably because it simply shares the Gtk that GtkClutter already imports).
