           Product: pygtk2.0
         Component: pygtk2.0
           Summary: pygtk2.0 compiled without threading.
           Version: 1.99.15-3mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Some apps, such as the RSS reader Straw require pygtk2.0 to be explicitly compiled 
with threading support (configure --enable-thread) for them to run. This is not done 
by default, but I'm not aware of any reason not to do so.

Otherwise I if I run an app that expects threading I just get something like

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr//bin/straw", line 34, in ?
    s.mainloop()
  File "src/lib/Main.py", line 236, in mainloop
RuntimeError: pygtk threading disabled at compile time
Killed

Which is rather annoying. Anyways, as far as I can see Debian didn't have any problems 
when they enabled it.
