No plugins are shown in right click menu

[dekki]

After updating from Ubuntu 16.04 to 17.10 the terminator plugins are no longer shown in the right click menu.

Disabling and enabling the plugins does not help.

No error message visible when starting terminator or when activating or deactivating a plugin.
However, when right clicking the following error is shown.

TerminalPopupMenu::show: 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". See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709183

Not sure if it has anything todo with the missing plugins.

So at a guess you have a few 3rd party plugins installed that are *NOT* delivered as part of Terminator. One of these is more than likely still trying to operate using gtk2 style imports. Find it and disable it and the menu will probably start working again. As the message says, look for imports referencing gobject, instead of GObject. Of course, even better would be to check for an update from the original dev, and if one doesn't exist, perhaps even provide a fix to them. Note that simply changing the import is unlikely to work on it's own. The code will very likely need other changes.
