Would like patch added to ebuild for Gnome-Menus to fix python related crashes. Patch is from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442747 Can confirm that it works for me. Simply had to put patch in files directory and add src_unpack info to existing ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Without patch: 1. Install either Gimmie or BigBoard (from mugshot) 2. Running either package, goto /usr/share/applications 3. modify any desktop file there, upon saving, it will crash application. Actual Results: Without patch, it crashes python software using gnome-menus package when changes are made to /usr/share/applications Expected Results: Shouldn't crash. Patch fixes this.
