It is known as "idiot idiom" aka trial and error.
If I omit that line, it fails later on at a line reading
self.vbox = Gtk.VBox()
with a complaint about wrong number of parameters for GObject.__init__()

Thanks again John - yes, it is certainly related to the typelibs.
On this custom system, the girepository-1.0 directory does not have a typelib
for gtk.
It has just these typelibs:
Atk-1.0
xrandr-1.3
xlib-2.0
xft-2.0
xfixes-4.0
libxml2-2.0
freetype2-2.0
fontconfig-2.0
cairo-1.0
Gio-2.0
GObject-2.0
GModule-2.0
GLib-2.0
GL-1.0
GIRepository-2.0
DBusGLib-1.0
DBus-1.0
On the F14, there are many more including gtk.
Now, the strange thing (to me) is that these were all (except one, Atk)
installed during the make install
phase of building gobject-introspection-0.10.3 itself. I would (I think) have
expected each one to be put
there by its own package. How does gobject-introspection know which packages
to build typelibs for?
There does not appear to be any configure option for this.
The Atk typelib was built by the Atk build process, which did this
/usr/local/bin/g-ir-compiler --includedir=. Atk-1.0.gir -o Atk-1.0.typelib
Am I supposed to run g-ir-compiler on similar ${package}.gir's of the other
packages?
I will give that a try but again if you or someone can say how this is supposed
to be done
I would appreciate.
Cheers, John Lumby
