--- Comment #1 from Tristan Van Berkom <tristanvb at openismus.com> 2013-05-12 13:36:05 UTC ---
This is a bug with how introspection works.

introspection calls API from libraries it introspects (notably
it calls class initializers by way of g_type_class_ref (LIBRARY_GTYPE)),
but it fails to initialize those libraries where some libraries need
to initialized.

This is not encouraging because for libraries such as GTK+,
initializing the library normally requires a DISPLAY.

In the case of Glade particularly, this started failing because
one of the dynamic enumeration types we use needs to call
gtk_stock_list_ids(), and gtk_stock_list_ids() stopped working
without proper initialization of GTK+ (and without a display).

Again, the problem points back to how gobject-introspection
needs to call API from the libraries it introspects, but fails
to require initialization.
