Description Vratislav Podzimek 2012-01-09 14:58:36 UTC
Description of problem:
Since libxklavier doesn't support GObject introspection, it can't be used easily in other languages (e.g. in Python). There is a Python binding -- python-xklavier, but it cannot be used while using Gtk3 (it uses Gtk2 which leads into fatal errors -- tracebacks, segfaults).

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run: python -c "from gi.repository import Gtk; import xklavier"
  
Actual results:
Python segfaults.

Expected results:
Should work this way:

>>> from gi.repository Gtk, xklavier

Additional info:
This feauture is urgent for Anaconda installer.
