The crash + is caused because a null check is performed on the wrong object, and the + patch attached addresses this. + + TEST CASE: + 1) With F-Spot version 0.5.0.3-0ubuntu2, go to Edit -> Preferences and enable 'Color Management'. + 2) Close F-Spot + 3) Attempt to re-open F-Spot and notice that is crashes immediately. + 4) Recover F-Spot by doing "gconftool-2 --type bool -s /apps/f-spot/ui/color_management_enabled 0" + 5) Install the version of F-Spot with the patch + 6) Enable 'Color Management' as before. + 7) Close F-Spot + 8) Open F-Spot again and notice that it no longer crashes
