Firstly, F-14 is probably too old. This pygobject+g-i has moved a lot in
the last few months.

pygi-convert is a hint only, it should not produce working code out of
the box.

With that said, my experiences are
* on F15/Natty pygobject/g+i works well
* use glib (i.e. static bindings) and GObject (from gi.repository import
GObject)
* callbacks and user_data optional parameters are the usual source of
pain
* use named arguments to constructors

Here is a new app written in pygobject+g-i
