Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

Shortly before Apport warned me of this crash, the theme defaulted to the regular GNOME theme (ugly gray with default GNOME icons). This crash was also accompanied by two crashed of PolicyKit, which I will file after I complete this report.

===== SRU Notice =====

This fix is simple and safe for an SRU. It prevents a crash in several apps, notably gnome-bluetooth, gnome-settings-daemon, and policykit-gnome-agent.

It's been patched in natty for a while without ill affects.

I think I know what's wrong -- it should disconnect from that signal when disposing itself.

In maverick, libappindicator was from the indicator-application package. So I'm opening a tracker for that source package in maverick (and invalidating the natty target) for an SRU.

I've been testing this package for a few days already and did not see any regression with it, i cannot reproduce the crash though. I'm marking this as verification-done so it can go trough updates, thanks all.
