runs after an additionall install of switchdesk-gui

Comment 2 Anand 2016-06-21 14:50:04 UTC
I disagree with the solution given here :- Its either a failure to identify package dependency properly in dnf install or something else. I had 
switchdesk and switchdesk-gui installed via dnf install. 

still my switchdesk did not work in GUI mode with same error mentioned above.
I had to figure out manually that dnf install  pygtk2-libglade
solved this issue. Please note this package was not auto suggested 
as either a dependency or it was installed with default python rpm package.

After this switchdesk works fine!

It has been a long story for me. I forgot to report some additional stuff:

1. ou are righjt, installing switchdesk-gui was not sufficient (still switchdesk did'nt work)
2 Coincidentally,  after having installed an additional environment group (mate-desktop), suddenly switchdesk was operable, so I guess: by  the installation of the env group, pygtk2-libglade was installed too. This would confirm your report.
