[Bug 1035032] [NEW] New aptdaemon.client breaks apps using twisted with gireactor

[Rodney Dawes]

Public bug reported:

Discovered this while attempting to upload a new patch to ubuntuone-
installer on quantal and having the tests fail with the following error:

dobey at u1-client-tarmac-trunk:~/ubuntuone-installer$ ./run-tests Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/u1trial", line 40, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-dev-tools/ubuntuone/devtools/runners/__init__.py", line 259, in main
    suite = test_runner.get_suite(options)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-dev-tools/ubuntuone/devtools/runners/__init__.py", line 170, in get_suite
    config['ignore-paths']))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-dev-tools/ubuntuone/devtools/runners/__init__.py", line 154, in _collect_tests
    module_suite = self._load_unittest(filepath)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-dev-tools/ubuntuone/devtools/runners/__init__.py", line 95, in _load_unittest
    module = __import__(modpath, None, None, [""])
  File "/home/dobey/ubuntuone-installer/ubuntuone/installer/tests/test_gui.py", line 21, in <module>
    from ubuntuone.installer import gui
  File "/home/dobey/ubuntuone-installer/ubuntuone/installer/gui.py", line 19, in <module>
    import aptdaemon.client as aptclient
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/client.py", line 41, in <module>
    import gobject as GObject
ImportError: No module named gobject

This same issue existed on the previous version as well, but in the
exact opposite manner, though was not exposed in general, as
gi.repository would have been tried first then, and so apps using it
would have been fine.
