Issues with developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/3.12/gmenu.py.html

[Jürgen Kleber <jkleber2701 t-online de>]

Hello,
when testing the above mentioned code on Debian Sid systems (amd64 and
i386) there were different issues. I ran the script from the console
with python2.7 and python3.4 (after putting parentheses around the
arguments of the print-method). On the amd64 systems there was only an
empty window with the title "GMenu Example" and a close box, nothing
else, and no error message or warning. On the i368 systems the menu
worked properly, but I got the warnings
«** (gmenu.py:1720): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility
bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote
application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy
blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection
was broken.»
and
«** (gmenu.py:1306): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus
address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files»,
respectively. I wonder if it is a Debian specific problem. Can anybody
test the script on other Linux variants (e. g. Ubuntu, Fedora, or SuSe)?
By the way – the script
„developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/3.12/menubutton.py.html“ which
also uses class Gio.Menu works fine.
Regards,
Jürgen
