wnck gtk3 python bindings broken

[Richard Henwood]

I have the following wnck bits installed on 11.10, running with gnome-shell:

richard@laptop:~$ dpkg -l | grep wnck
ii gir1.2-wnck-3.0 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 GObject introspection data for the WNCK library
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
ii python-wnck 2.32.0-0ubuntu6 Python bindings for the WNCK library

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
>>> import wnck

  import gobject._gobject
>>>

It would seem that this is a case of operator error and there is no bug:

richard@laptop:~/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.
>>> from gi.repository import Wnck
