When I install winswitch on Centos 6.4, I get the following error. Installation went fine, no issues. (Windows version worked fine too, no issues.) I'm assuming it needs something similar to the following added:

        try:
            glib.threads_init()
        except AttributeError:
            #old versions of glib may not have this method
            pass
        try:
            gobject.threads_init()
        except AttributeError:
            #old versions of gobject may not have this method
            pass

Here is the actual error message I'm getting:

At the moment, we use the same process using FileCopier, but we could just open the file directly!
