The Snippets plugin in gedit fails to start when enabled. 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. It makes the
gedit snippets plugin work again (see obs package
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=python-gobject&project=home%3Abadshah400%3Abranches%3Adevel%3Alanguages%3Apython
).
This upstream update is a bug-fix release and it fixes the following bugs in
total (from upstream NEWS file
http://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/tree/NEWS?id=c2ec4d8eb46ae2e6ee4372b2a...
