Bug Description

For the first time i'm seeing this error logged at the beginning of xsession-errors. As we got recently the libglib2.0-0 package updated and have not found related thread posted, i suppose its the right package to report against, but i'm not sure.

** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
** Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension

** WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** WARNING **: Can not calculate _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS

Note: i'm logged as gnome-classic on Precise i386 (compiz/unity purged)

Thank you for your bug report, the new glib is stricter in things it warns about, it's likely that the bug is rather a gvfs one (would be nice to report upstream as well)

This was fixed upstream recently, and should be in the current glib2.0 package.

Confirmed this is still happening with current glib2.0.

Upstream bug #668522 better matches this issue than #667938 and is noted as still open with this issue.

The same two "trying to register gtype..." warnings also pop up if you do a simple "import gtk" at the Python prompt.

I think the upstream patch fixed too much. Previously I got the following two warnings:

  ** WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

  ** WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

After upgrading to python-gobject-2 2.28.6-10 I get the following warning instead:

  ** WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GSocketMsgFlags' as flags when in fact it is of type 'GEnum'
