Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's still an issue for me (up to date hardy).

marking it as triaged then, Mirco may you take a look to it? thanks.

does anybody still get the issue in jaunty?

Jepp ... I have the error in Jaunty !

Fixed by checking array is not NULL before calling g_array_free as required.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center - 1:2.26.0-1ubuntu2
