For ubiquity's xklavier usage, it seems that this isn't working at all
right now. With the existing pygobject 2.28 on oneiric, when I do

>>> from gi.repository import Gdk
>>> import xklavier
>>> display = Gdk.Display.get_default()
>>> engine = xklavier.Engine(display)
__main__:1: Warning: cannot register existing type `GdkDisplay'
__main__:1: Warning: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed
__main__:1: invalid cast from `GdkX11Display' to `invalid'

and then it hangs eternally. When I run the same with pygobject 2.90, I
get

>>> from gi.repository import Gdk
>>> import xklavier
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject
>>> display = Gdk.Display.get_default()
>>> engine = xklavier.Engine(display)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: must be gobject.GObject, not gtk.gdk.X11Display

However, even if that would work, ubiquity's set_indicator_keymaps()
currently uses gconf, but the current GNOME desktop uses gsettings.

As the function does not seem to work at all in any circumstance now,
would it be ok to disable it for now with

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.
