I've asked the release team for a freeze-break so I can commit this.
Approved and committed.
the new gnome-applets version crash for lot of users and that seems to be due to this change, see bug #553418
the change seems right, that's probably not it, the issue is new since the recente updates though, it could be due to libglib
The problem seems to be that g_file_info_get_icon doesn't actually return a new reference. So the final g_object_unref (icon) is wrong.
That is indeed the problem. The fix has been tested and applied to both trunk and gnome-2-24.
