Bug Description

After crashing (fatal error...etc.) it took about 3 safe boots to get it normal. However, the program icons were absent. Next reboot they were still absent but two external HDD showed up. Then when I tried to open software sources...next glitch.
Hope this helps.
Thank mucho,
Scott

Gdk.FUNC_MOVE indeed doesn't exist. As /usr/share/gir-1.0/Gdk-3.0.gir shows, the constant names is Gdk.WMFunction.MOVE (same in 2.0).

While looking at this I noticed that softwareproperties/gtk/DialogAddSourcesList.py does

import pygtk
from gi.repository import Gdk
from gi.repository import Gtk

Note that this is *highly* dangerous and prone to crash. You must not mix the static bindings with GI bindings, otherwise the two will fight each other badly and cause unknown symbols, crashes, or other memory corruption.
