Hi,

I saw something regarding few other exceptions like that, but it wasn’t  
exactly like this:

when I’m making in the irb, "require ‘gtk2’ " I got the following  
errors:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55  
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*:g\_boxed\_type\_register\_static: assertion  
`g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55 GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **:g_param_spec_boxed: assertion`G\_TYPE\_IS\_BOXED  
(boxed\_type)’ failed  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55  
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*:g\_object\_class\_install\_property: assertion  
`G_IS_PARAM_SPEC (pspec)' failed /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55 GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **:g_param_spec_boxed: assertion`G\_TYPE\_IS\_BOXED  
(boxed\_type)’ failed  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55  
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*:g\_object\_class\_install\_property: assertion  
`G\_IS\_PARAM\_SPEC (pspec)’ failed

This happening also when the script, that is using libglade2, is  
running.  
Nothing bad seems to be happening, but I don’t understand why is that  
…

This is happening in Ubuntu Edgy.

What is bothering me, is that I see there, CRITICAL, this shouldn’t be  
right.

Any idea about that ?  
Is there a solution how to fix that ?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Alin
