#3926: amd64 incompatibilites with libpurple and dbus
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  Trundle    |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new        |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  libpurple  |    Version:  2.2.2 
 Keywords:             |    Pending:  0     
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 The following code results in an exception:

 {{{
 #!python
 #!/usr/bin/env python

 import dbus
 import dbus.decorators
 import dbus.glib
 import gobject

 purple = None

 def on_signed_on(buddy_id):
     print 'Signed on:', purple.PurpleBuddyGetName(buddy_id)

 def main():
     global purple
     bus = dbus.SessionBus()
     obj = bus.get_object('im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService',
                          '/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject')
     purple = dbus.Interface(obj, 'im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface')
     # Register signals
     bus.add_signal_receiver(on_signed_on,
 dbus_interface='im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface',
                             signal_name='BuddySignedOn')

     # Start the mainloop
     gobject.MainLoop().run()

 if __name__ == '__main__':
     main()
 }}}

 Exception and traceback:

 {{{

 Same code just works fine if the purple client (not the py script) is
 started in a 32 bit environment. I'm using the debian-packaged libpurple0
 (version 2.2.2-1).
