Struct() argument 1 must be string, not unicode

[yars068]

Hi folks,
I have a issue when trying to run latest blueman snapshot (since may-07-2015). There are:

$ blueman-applet 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/blueman-applet", line 31, in <module>
    from blueman.Functions import *
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/blueman/Functions.py", line 52, in <module>
    in_fg = os.getpgrp() == struct.unpack('h', fcntl.ioctl(0, termios.TIOCGPGRP, "  "))[0]
TypeError: Struct() argument 1 must be string, not unicode

That is on Slackware64-14.1, Bluez-5.29 and python-2.7.5. UTF8 is system encoding.

Hmm, I thought I fixed that.. Anyway, the below should fix the problem, please report if this solved it.

 except IOError:
     in_fg = 'DEBUG' in os.environ

Thanks for patch. But I have a new issue:

Sorry, I fix it by running glib-compile-schemas.
