Comment 13 for bug 1048038

My photo lens is empty too despite having lots of photos in shotwell, facebook, picasa, last 2 linked in online accounts. Turns out the unity-lens-photos isn't running (can't kill it), and when I try to run it, I get this error message:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/_gobject/__init__.py:279: Warning: attempting to add an interface (UnityMergeStrategy) to class (__main__+Merger) after class_init
