[Bug 63804] simple-browser.py example doesn't work

[Stuart Langridge]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-gnome2-extras

The example /usr/share/doc/python-gnome2-extras/examples/gtkhtml2
/simple-browser.py doesn't work properly. Running it, with python
/usr/share/doc/python-gnome2-extras/examples/gtkhtml2/simple-browser.py,
shows the initial example page (with "Hello world!" and a link to the
Gnome site saying "click me") correctly. Clicking the link, however,
makes it disappear, and it does not show the site as expected. It writes
the following on the terminal:

link_clicked: http://www.gnome.org/

/usr/share/doc/python-gnome2-extras/examples/gtkhtml2/simple-
browser.py:45: Warning: invalid uninstantiatable type `(null)' in cast
to `GObject'

  document.close_stream()

/usr/share/doc/python-gnome2-extras/examples/gtkhtml2/simple-browser.py:45: Warning: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
  document.close_stream()

** (simple-browser.py:7542): CRITICAL **:
dom_Document__get_documentElement: assertion `doc != NULL' failed

** Affects: gnome-python-extras (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
