Bug Description

After installing a plug-in (sorry, don't know its name now but it's something to do with radio stations), rhythmbox fails silently on start-up from the GUI. On start-up from the command line, I get:

(rhythmbox:20871): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Could not open device /dev/radio0
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject
TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases
**
ERROR:/build/buildd/pygobject-3.0.0/gi/_gobject/pygobject.c:929:pygobject_new_full: assertion failed: (tp != NULL)
Aborted

It now only starts via:

$ rhythmbox --disable-plugins
