Bug Description

LottaNZB cannot be launched on an up-to-date Lucid machine because of a bug in GtkBuilder. I tracked down the problem:

When loading a XML UI file using GtkBuilder, the 'name' property of widgets isn't set. On the other hand, the 'name' property of 'GtkAction' objects is properly set.

A test case written in both Python and C is attached. Compare the output on a Karmic and a Lucid machine.

I'm pretty sure that LottaNZB worked about a week ago, when I initially installed Lucid. This means that the bug could have been introduced in a recent update.

I'd be glad if someone confirmed the bug so that it could be forwarded upstream.

I just ported the Python testcase to raw C code. The bug can also be reproduced here. Everything is fine in Karmic, but in Lucid, the widget names are not set.

This means that it's not actually a bug in PyGTK, but GTK itself.

C test-case. Compile it using

gcc testcase.c -Wall -o testcase `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`

and make sure that 'testcase.ui' is in the same directory as 'testcase' when executing it.

The bug has been marked as a duplicate upstream. The problem is that the "name" property is only meant to be used w.r.t. themes and doesn't need to be unique. The GtkBuilder ID however needs to be unique and was bound to the "name" property until now.

This means that the problem can be fixed within LottaNZB using a rather ugly hack by getting the GtkBuilder ID using gtk.Buildable.get_name(widget). Let's hope that the GTK/PyGTK API's will be updated regarding this issue by adding methods/functions like "get_id" or "get_buildable_id".

Added link to Gramps bug ticket.
The Gramps application crashes in parts using gtk.Builder due to this issue.
How will this be resolved? Should applications update or will there be a patch against gtk/pygtk so that applications start working again?

Looking at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591085
the change seems to be intentional, so Ubuntu should patch applications hit by it in 10.04

Affects also luciole version 0.9 only.
A dictionary of objects was used to get the widget from gtk.builder.
Modify luciole 0.9 to use gtk.builder.get_objet() instead.
