Bug Description

When attempting to run gobby with the GNOME accessibility features turned on, gobby doesn't load. This is the output I get.
luke@marlon:~$ gobby
GTK Accessibility Module initialized

GThread-ERROR **: GThread system may only be initialized once.
aborting...
Aborted

When accessibility is turned off, gobby loads fine.

In GNOME, click on System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technology Support. In the dialog that comes up, check the Assistive Technologies checkbox. Close the dialog, log out, and log back in.

Once logged in again, attempt to run gobby.

Kudos to Armin. We will issue a 0.3.x bugfix release. It is already fixed for the current development branch. Thank you, Luke, for reporting this.

Thank you Luke for your efforts. It would be nice if it could be uploaded to dapper-updates.

I still don't see it on packages.ubuntu.com, is the fix really released?

I just checked Packages.bz2 of dapper-updates, and it was in there. But could you please fix this for Edgy Eft, too? There will be no sync from Debian for weeks, because relevant packages will be stuck in NEW. (gmp was messed up, so the SONAME of both gmp and obby has to be bumped.)
