Description Sebastian Pölsterl 2008-03-18 15:04:50 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Comment 27 in bug 478758 mentioned that he received an exception that went away when he disabled the tracker module.

Although, the error seems to appear only on some machines I think it's best to surround each D-Bus call with a try-except statement for dbus.exceptions.DBusException. That way the module will at least fail silently and don't bother the user.

Steps to reproduce:
No way to reproduce this reliably is known to me.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

I think this is not a bug in tracker, but in deskbar-applet. The try-except must be added in client side.

I close the bug as NOTABUG because i don't see any action to do in tracker.
