[Sugar-devel] [PATCH] sugar-session: initialize threading via glib

[Daniel Drake]

sugar extensions that use threads such as OLPC's software updater
require that threads have been properly initialised before the
main loop is ran.

For pygobject3, GLib.threads_init() must be called before doing
the same for Gdk, otherwise the threads hang in random places
for long periods of time. See e.g.
