Summary:                    gobject-introspection fix
Description: 
Reading the #lunar discussion concerning the problematic topic
'gobject-introspection' I would like to suggest to implement the all or
nothing approach:

Like one can choose aliases via 'lunar' one should enable/disable globally
gobject-introspection:
lunar
--> menu opens
--> maintenance or option menu
--> choose to enable/disable gobject-introspection globally

Of course, all modules depending on it should be modified to somehow read
the GOBJECT option so lin can react upon it.

So no user will ever encounter the problem again to enable gobject with
only half of her/his modules and get into trouble then.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
It's all a bit too early to tell.

The user's problem apparently was having gobject-introspection installed,
and then trying to compile webkit. Webkit noticed that
gobject-introspection was installed, and falsely assumed that gtk+-2 had
been compiled with gobject-introspection also.

The compilation error message makes it reasonably obvious ("Couldn't find
include 'Gdk-2.0.gir'" - which is a file provided by gtk+-2), and Lunar
users should be able to read them and use a search engine appropriately.

I expect that all we should do is have a wiki page about it.
