Bug Description

I am experiencing the same bug detailed at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1187849, but on Ubuntu Bionic. Applying the patch attached to the bug report to my installed copy (adjusting for filenames) fixes the issue, and taskcoach runs as expected.

Release:
Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04

Package:
taskcoach:
  Installed: 1.4.3-6
  Candidate: 1.4.3-6
  Version table:
 *** 1.4.3-6 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The errors I was seeing (at the end of which it would hang with no UI):

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 'g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed

This issue was reported in 2015 upstream and nothing has been done about it. See https://sourceforge.net/p/taskcoach/bugs/1593/. Right now, this package is broken.

I'm also having this bug in Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS. It's been fixed upstream in version 1.4.4, so there should be a good copy of it that could be grabbed and added to Ubuntu's repository.
