[Bug 513930] [NEW] Crashes on startup

 

Public bug reported:

On startup, g-a-j crashes with an assertion error in gdk. The problem is
that GdkScreen is being instantiated and used (which seems crazy to me,
I wonder why it isn't crashing for everybody). The following snippet
crashes almost every time I run it.

import gtk
screen = gtk.gdk.Screen()
screen.get_monitor_geometry(0)

Attached is a patch to fix this (using bzr bundle, it's the closest
thing I found to hg export, should I use something else?)
