How to run wikidPad on Fedora

I am trying to get wikidPad running on Fedora 27. According to the installation wiki, it runs well on Linux. There is a section on getting it running in Fedora but it was written in 2007, and it does not work for me.

My setup:

Following the fedora instructions, I installed:

I run it like this:

  fedora ~/doc/wikidpad$ python WikidPad.py
  /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 'g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_set_qdata: assertion 'node != NULL' failed
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: cannot register existing type 'GtkWidget'
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: cannot register existing type 'GtkBuildable'
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INTERFACE (interface_type)' failed
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed
  from gtk import _gtk
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_register_static: assertion 'parent_type > 0' failed
  from gtk import _gtk

At that point, it displays a splash screen and just hangs there until I kill it with Ctrl-C.

What is the correct procedure to get this running on Fedora? Is there something obvious I am missing?

That hanging on startup was a bug (regarding a gtk2/gtk3 conflict) that has been fixed in WikidPad in 2016.

For example read here: https://github.com/WikidPad/WikidPad/issues/1

Please use a more recent (or the current) version of WikidPad!
