Fwd: [Bug 524665] Unable to import 'main' on startup

["Robert Ancell" <robert ancell gmail com>]

Can someone have a look at this? I'm not sure how the installed_mode
is supposed to work (glchess.in.in/defaults.py.in) but it appears not
to be working in Ubuntu. Debian has patched their version. I can't see
any changes from 2.22.1 that I've made that should have stopped things
working.

The cure introduced in r7608 is worse than the disease. Now the defaults are
always taken from the build directory, not the installation directory. It does
not even start up anymore:

(glchess:12668): libglade-WARNING **: could not find glade file
'/scratch/build-area/gnome-games-2.22.2/glchess/glade/glchess.glade'
Traceback (most recent call last):

   app = main.Application()
 File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glchess/main.py", line 441, in

   self.ui = UI(self)

   self.controller = gtkui.GtkUI(self)
 File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glchess/gtkui/gtkui.py", line 221, in

   self._gui = loadGladeFile('glchess.glade')
 File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glchess/gtkui/gtkui.py", line 46, in
loadGladeFile
   return gtk.glade.XML(os.path.join(GLADE_DIR, name), root, domain = DOMAIN)
RuntimeError: could not create GladeXML object

Actually, there is no reason at all to reference the build directory in the
installed files, especially in so fragile code paths.
