Attaching a patch which if applied to libunity generated Unity-5.0.gir
file will produce a correct typelib and fix the crash.

** Description changed:

+ SRU test case:
+ 
+ 1) Run `python -c "from gi.repository import Unity; print 
Unity.ActivationResponse.new(Unity.HandledType.SHOW_DASH, '')"`
+ 2) The command shouldn't cause a segmentation fault
+ 
+ ====Original Report====
+ 
  When attempting to use a custom activation of a lens result in a scope
  written in python, Unity.ActivationResponse does not work as advertised
  at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Lenses#Handling_Activation, which
  suggests that the line
  Unity.ActivationResponse.new(Unity.HandledType.SHOW_DASH) should pass a
  response to keep the dash open.  Instead, an error in generated
  suggesting that a second argument needs to be passed to the function.
  On adding a second argument, the error further suggests that it needs to
  be a string.  On using a string, the following error is generated:
  
  TypeError: can't convert return value to desired type
-  ../pathtolens/lens.py:100: Warning: g_object_get_qdata: assertion 
G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed GObject.MainLoop().run()
-  ../pathtolens/lens.py:100: Warning: g_object_set_qdata_full: 
assertionG_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed GObject.MainLoop().run() 
-  ../pathtolens/lens.py:100: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT

+  ../pathtolens/lens.py:100: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT 
(object)' failed GObject.MainLoop().run()
  
  Similar errors are generated when using other "Unity.Handletype"s
  (although using NOT_HANDLED only produces the TypeError part, not any of
  the warnings.)
