This exception is raised when an object is not initialized. See this 
example:
>>> from gi.repository import Gtk
>>> box = Gtk.Box()
>>> box.add(Gtk.Button)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 43, in function
    return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: Expected Gtk.Widget, but got GObjectMeta
>>> box.add(Gtk.Button())

Too little information here, but if it goes wrong on this line, have a 
look what the actor object is.
