Comment 27 for bug 856354

Hi,

In my understanding the issue is relevant. When starting up update.manager
it says it cannot get Gtk Window pointer.
Later on when clicking on the "Check" button it drops the below messages
which says: AttributeError: 'Window' object has no attribute 'window', Of
course because it has null for the window object. And null will never have
a window attribute.
So in my view this is the same issue and root cause is:
Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_pointer: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)

Of course if you say I'm not right I will open a new bug for this as I'm
not perfect in python.
