Bug Description
What Happens
============
* From Ubuntu 17.04 Alpha, install gnome-software-
gnome-software will now refuse to start.
* When I run it from the command line, I get this output:
I kill all running instances of gnome-software before starting it:
$ pkill gnome-software
$ gnome-software
06:15:12:0290 GLib-GObject cannot register existing type 'GsFlatpak'
06:15:12:0290 GLib g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed
06:15:12:0290 GLib-GObject g_object_new: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
I am unable to reproduce this crash on Debian. Installing gnome-software-
If we can't fix this, I believe we have no choice but to disable the Flatpak plugin. Installing something from the Ubuntu archives can't be allowed to break such a critical app.
Other things I've tried
=======
- Rebasing the Ubuntu patches on top of 3.22.4 instead of 3.22.2
- Building the PackageKit plugin instead of Ubuntu's custom apt plugin

Can you show me the patches that you're applying on top of the tarball? It looks like something is using GsFlatpak from outside the flatpak plugin. Could you also please grab the entire --verbose log please with no other gnome-software's running. Thanks.
