Merge lp:~bregma/geis/lp-1077376 into lp:geis

[Stephen M. Webb]

Avoid dereferencing a freed pointer when more than one V1 gesture class is subscribed (lp: #1077376).

Avoids dereferencing a freed pointer when more than one V1 gesture class is subscribed (lp: #1077376).

No new tests are required: current existing tests were failing and now pass with this fix.

Evince no longer crashes with this fix applied.

[Daniel d'Andrada (dandrader)]

Looks ok, although I would be happier to have a regular test to cover this instead of a xorg-gtest one (which is slow and unreliable). I have to confess xorg-gtest-based tests stopped working for me long ago so I didn't bother running them anymore. I just write and check the regular ones.
