Bugzilla Bug 174810

complete rewrite and clean up. Should fix lots of mem leaks and improve
performance. Breaks some old apps that failed to migrate from the 0.20 -> 0.30
series bindings since this version removes out those deprecated bindings. I
believe we have caught all instances of those apps in the tree and fixed them.

Tests are known the fail randomly since there is a race condition in the tests.
If they fail, re-run them again to see if it happens to you again.

ppc64 stable

ia64 + x86 stable

The tracker plugin for the deskbar-applet doesn't work with dbus-python-0.80.2,
only with 0.71.

I rebuilded dbus and the plugin now seems ok.

It's me again.
When i log into gnome, the deskbar doesn't start, reporting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process

If I kill and reload the deskbar-applet everything works.
This never happened with dbus-python-0.71.

Do I have to open a new bugreport or is it ok to post here?

Stable for HPPA.

sparc stable.

Stable on ppc

amd64 done.

*** Bug 162880 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Marked unstable on mips.  Will mark stable in ~30 days, but don't let this
block from closing the bug.  Just assign it to us when all other archs are
complete.

alpha stable

The tests constantly fail in Cross-test section of the test. Sorry, can't send
complete log, don't have access to my Gentoo box
