Correctly initialize the variables when checking version update (1.19 KB, patch)

Description Vincent Untz 2011-10-12 12:15:16 UTC 
Since there's now a default in the gconf schema for version (empty string, while there used to be not default), we need to correctly initialize the variables when checking version update.

Here's a simple patch.

Correctly initialize the variables when checking version update

Else, we end up with non-initialized memory and "Cannot upgrade from
version <random data>".

Makes perfect sense.  Thanks for the patch!

Not sure if this is needed on the gnome-3-2 branch, but it can't hurt.
