[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#780463: wrong dbus-send syntax breaks XMonad.Config.Gnome

[Per Olofsson]

Package: libghc-xmonad-contrib-dev
Version: 0.11.3-1+pelle1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Hi,

The XMonad.Config.Gnome module uses dbus-send to talk to
gnome-session, which speeds up the start when using Xmonad as the
window manager under Gnome. However, there is a syntax error in the
command line which worked previously but now doesn't. It's easy to
fix:

It has already been fixed upstream in darcs.
