 Replying to [comment:7 gnu]:
 > I would like to fix this bug in SimCity.  I've been waiting for ten
 months for some simple documentation on what Python calls an activity
 should make if it wants to use threads.  Marco?  Tomeu?

 This is nothing specific to Sugar. You can find all the available
 information in the pygtk support channels.

 there's a gobject SOMEWHERE in this (%*$*# python gui code, I was just
 grasping at straws anyway.  As detailed above, I don't believe it's safe
 to call threads_init after Sugar has already made a bunch of GTK calls on
 my activity's behalf.

 See how Browse does it:

 activity;a=blob;f=webactivity.py;h=e17d3b2d38b33624923fa5f1052c3da6be051860;hb=HEAD#l21

 > But I figured I'd see if it worked HALF the time, maybe, rather than
 have this bug stall for another 10 months.]

 I recommend you to ping us before 10 months have passed. At least me,
 cannot keep track of all the tickets in trac, and end up relying on people
 reminding me when they want anything.
