I am not a python programmer so I am unable to help further.
But I suspect I've installed it wrong. I used:
             ./setup.py install --record=install-files.txt

The tool to attach files doesn't seem to do anything. Here's the config file:

You're missing a dependancy as you have installed without using the nightly PPA.

Depends: gconf2,
 gir1.2-gconf-2.0,
 gir1.2-keybinder-3.0, <====
 libdbus-1-3,
 libgtk-3-0,
 libnotify4,
 libvte-2.91-0,
 python-psutil,
 python-gobject,
 ${misc:Depends},
 ${python:Depends}

I've marked the one you would need to apt-get install. Alternatively you could install the nightly which would keep you bang up to date (along with a minor risk of breakage if your risk profile allows that.)

As it happens a fix for that failure (when Keybinder is not available) went into the tree today.

I'm going to mark this as invalid as it's no longer something that needs addditional new code changes.

Thank You very much.
