[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#426412: python-dbus: system_bus.remove_signal_receiver() freezes

[Tony Houghton]

Package: python-dbus
Version: 0.81.0-1
Severity: normal


hal-device-manager and an experimental device manager applet for the ROX
desktop called DevTray keep freezing on me when a device is removed or
when I quit DevTray. I tracked it down to this call in DevTray:

system_bus.remove_signal_receiver(item._property_modified,
                                  'PropertyModified',
                                  'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device',
                                  'org.freedesktop.Hal',
                                   udi)

I haven't checked exactly where hal-device-manager is freezing, but I
notice that its code does contain a very similar call.
