Bug description:
  This is a tracking bug for fixing programs which will crash with a
  newer pygobject >= 2.90. This is now absolutely zero tolerant against
  importing both the static and the GI version of a particular library.
  This was mostly the case with 2.28 as well, but did work in some cases
  (like "import gobject; from gi.repository import Gtk", in particular
  for "glib" and "gobject"). These now cause errors as well.

  See bug 828751 for some more information for this.
