Running with this patch i ran into an issue while building gnome-shell:
GEN Gdm-1.0.gir
GThread-ERROR **: GThread system may only be initialized once.
aborting...
Command '['/gnome/src/gnome-shell/src/tmp-introspectpoWP_f/Gdm-1.0',
'--introspect-dump=/gnome/src/gnome-shell/src/tmp-introspectpoWP_f/types.txt,/gnome/src/gnome-shell/src/tmp-introspectpoWP_f/dump.xml']'
returned non-zero exit status -5
Not sure exactly what crashed, but obviously something ran:
g_type_init() and then g_thread_init(). Maybe we need to make this a
non-fatal warning?
