[pygtk] Error message

[BJörn Lindqvist]

Here is the minimal glade file that reproduces your problem:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE glade-interface SYSTEM "glade-2.0.dtd">
<glade-interface>
    <widget class="GtkComboBox" id="foo">
        <!-- <property name="visible">True</property> -->

        <property name="items" translatable="yes"
context="yes">portrait</property>
        <property name="active">0</property>
    </widget>
</glade-interface>

It seems like this problem is very widespread, see:

which all describes the same problem. The cause seem to be that the
"active" property is set before the "items" property. So
gtk_cell_view_set_displayed_row is called before the model is created
by setting the "items" property. Bug report:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466715 The work around is to
manually remove the "active" property line from the .glade file.
