  ii  libwnck-3-0                                                 3.2.0-0ubuntu1                             Window Navigator Construction Kit - runtime files
  ii  libwnck-3-common                                            3.2.0-0ubuntu1                             Window Navigator Construction Kit - common files
  ii  libwnck-3-dev                                               3.2.0-0ubuntu1                             Window Navigator Construction Kit - development files
  ii  libwnck-common                                              1:2.30.7-0ubuntu1                          Window Navigator Construction Kit - common files
  ii  libwnck22                                                   1:2.30.7-0ubuntu1                          Window Navigator Construction Kit - runtime files

  Now if I start python:

  richard@wc-hp:~/tools/skype-record$ python
  Python 2.7.2+ (default, Oct  4 2011, 20:06:09) 
  [GCC 4.6.1] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import wnck
  >>> import gi.repository
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
      from ._gi import _API, Repository
  ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: ImportError('When using gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject".',))

  or the other way around:

  Python 2.7.2+ (default, Oct  4 2011, 20:06:09) 
  [GCC 4.6.1] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import gi.repository
