Description Matthias Clasen 2006-09-18 13:56:18 UTC 
We are seeing problems where the applet fails to initiate a dbus connection.
If that happens, libgswitchit tries to set up the group names from the layout
names, but it does not set up the short names, and that causes a segfault later
on...

Sergey, is this clear to commit?

Davyd, I looked at the code, initially I thought it is ok - but now I fixed it another way. We should not allocate short_group_names when we do not need them - so I cleaned the code a bit to handle NULL value properly. So I would consider this bug as closed.
