Gvim Glib-GObject Warning when starting gvim in ubuntu 13.10

[Naveen Panwar]

Distribution: Ubuntu 13.10
Package: gvim

I posted this as a Question on askubuntu.com

http://askubuntu.com/questions/361180/gvim-glib-gobject-warning-in-ubuntu-13-10

my research says it's a ignorable warning but it's annoying to see warnings if they aren't serious how to get rid of those warnings

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hope I'm not muddying the waters, but I see the same warning happening in other programs as well (eg quodlibet). Perhaps this should be resolved generically in gnome and not in vim ? Just my 2 cents

This is what I get on quodlibet startup in 13.10:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/quodlibet/qltk/session.py:18: Warning: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::sm-connect after class was initialised
  gnome.init(app_id, const.VERSION)
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/quodlibet/qltk/session.py:18: Warning: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::show-crash-dialog after class was initialised
  gnome.init(app_id, const.VERSION)
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/quodlibet/qltk/session.py:18: Warning: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::display after class was initialised
  gnome.init(app_id, const.VERSION)
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/quodlibet/qltk/session.py:18: Warning: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::default-icon after class was initialised
  gnome.init(app_id, const.VERSION)

Echoing #2. These warnings appear for other programs too, not just vim. For example, when running terminator:

/usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/terminator.py:87: Warning: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::sm-connect after class was initialised
  self.gnome_program = gnome.init(APP_NAME, APP_VERSION)
/usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/terminator.py:87: Warning: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::show-crash-dialog after class was initialised
  self.gnome_program = gnome.init(APP_NAME, APP_VERSION)
/usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/terminator.py:87: Warning: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::display after class was initialised
  self.gnome_program = gnome.init(APP_NAME, APP_VERSION)
/usr/share/terminator/terminatorlib/terminator.py:87: Warning: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::default-icon after class was initialised
  self.gnome_program = gnome.init(APP_NAME, APP_VERSION)

I've seen it happen so far when launching gvim and firefox from the terminal.

[John Little (john-b-little)]

This only affects my recent builds of vim, 7.4.103 and 7.4.92 before that. It doesn't affect the gvim from the Saucy repository, built by <email address hidden>, which is 7.4.000-1ubuntu2. (I leave it in /usr/bin/gvim.) I've just built that version from apt-get source, and it displays the problem, too.

[Margarita Manterola (marga-9)]

This bug is still present in the vim-gnome trusty version (2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3).
