Comment 10 for bug 896836

The simplest combination of modules I can find that causes the segfault (presumably due to the mixture of static and dynamic bindings for the gtk module described above) is:

python -c 'import Onboard; import gtk '

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:42: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  from gtk import _gtk

** (python:7386): CRITICAL **: pyg_register_boxed: assertion `boxed_type != 0' failed
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:42: Warning: cannot register existing type `GdkDevice'
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:42: Warning: g_type_get_qdata: assertion `node != NULL' failed
  from gtk import _gtk
zsh: segmentation fault python -c 'import Onboard; import gtk '

After removing the 'onboard' package, "pydoc -k" will get much further through the list of packages when searching, but now eventually hangs for me. strace shows it seems to be a race condition on a futex in atk:
