2007-01-26 Richard Hughes <email address hidden>

 * src/gpm-tray-icon.c: (gpm_tray_icon_set_image_from_stock):
 Fix a crasher on PPC where we were not sending the correct marshalled
 type on icon change. Should fix lp:81427 and #400654.

Can you try SVN trunk for me please? Thanks.

will do, many many thanks ! (i'll be travelling until tomorrow evening but get on it right away if i'm home)

Richard: Better, but not quite right. Please apply the attached patch as well.

2007-01-29 Colin Watson <email address hidden>

        * src/gpm-tray-icon.c: (gpm_tray_icon_sync):
        Fix arguments to description-changed signal. Fixes lp:81427.

 gnome-power-manager (2.17.90-0ubuntu3) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   ...
   * add 65-fix-ppc-crasher, fixes malone 81427, thanks to Colin Watson
   ...

Oliver, you applied my half of the patch but not the half that Richard had already applied upstream.

sorry :-(

 gnome-power-manager (2.17.90-0ubuntu4) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * make sure we apply both parts of the fix for 65-fix-ppc-crasher

Marking as fixed per previous comments, reopen if you feel otherwise.
