Description Ian Wienand 2004-12-17 02:16:28 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When getting _NET_WORKAREA information, a length value of G_LONGMAX is passed to
gdk_property_get().  Internally, gdk_property_get() increments this value,
causing it to wrap around to zero.  Thus the property call doesn't fail, but
doesn't return any useful information.

I've attached a suggested patch.

This manifests in the icon layout being slightly askew, as noted by David
Mosberger @ http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2004/12/msg00034.html

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

could you send this patch the nautilus-list for review ? The nautilus
maintainers use mainly the list to review patches.
