Bug#797118: system-config-printer hangs after double-click on printer or show printer-configuration-dialog

[Jakobus Schürz]

Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.4.6-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

starting system-config-printer as user and unlock it, or start it as
root, the habit is always the same.

Double-Click on a printer-icon or open printer-configuration from the
menu freezes the system-config-printer-gui. The icons get grey and
nothing else happens. 

This is the output while the gui freezes

# system-config-printer
