Have you upgraded to the latest Xubuntu 12.04?

I guess something has broken with your system, could you try to run this command?

python -c 'from gi.repository import Unique, GObject, Gdk, Gtk'

I've no idea about this, because import GObject will also fail, at this moment Ubuntu Tweak hasn't started yet.

Could you try again by running these two command?

    python --version
    python -c 'from gi.repository import GObject'

I think it's safe to say this is not related to the latest python-gobject. I used a backup from about a month ago, updated python-gobject, rebooted, and ubuntu tweak ran fine. I'll see if this has anything to do with XFCE 4.10.

OK, this is may caused by VirtualBox backup. I really have no idea about this.
