Fix login history variant handling (1.86 KB, patch)

Description Sergey Zolotarev 2012-12-18 12:34:36 UTC 
Normally you see your desktop background in desktop overview (the Activities thing). But after you do Suspend and wake up, gray noise is shown (like bad TV signal) instead of the background picture (see the screenshot).

Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64
GNOME Shell 3.6.2

I would place the blame on faulty drivers. What graphic card are you using?

AMD Radeon HD6570 (fglrx)

Proprietary drivers, eh? That increases the likelyhood...
Could you try with radeonhd?

Fix login history variant handling

g_variant_compare() returns 0 when the values are equal, and non-zero
otherwise, which is the opposite of what the check wants.
Also, it is valid for the login history variant to be null, when the
library is working with an older daemon. Don't emit a critical in that
case.
