Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-06-22 07:19:07 UTC 
Hmm, looks like gconf_client_set_list doesn't think that a null pointer is an acceptable string.

I guess in gnm_gconf_set_printer_header we should store empty strings rather than null pointers.

I will fix this as soon as I can get my tree again to compile.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2007-06-22 07:23:57 UTC 
Oh yeah, the patch:
