This is due to bugs in the version of python-gobject (3.0.1 shipped with openSUSE 12.1 GM) which was fixed with python-gobject 3.0.2 released upstream. Requesting the maintenance team for allowing an online maintenance update for the package python-gobject after openSUSE 12.1 is released. The updated packages have already been built for openSUSE 12.1 and tested.
