[Bug 939450] Re: ubiquity crashed with TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable in ubi-partman.py

Hello Stéphane,

Yes, I'm working on the "empty strings in GValue arrays" bug right
now, and I'm close to a solution. Once that's fixed, I'll continue
working on the "atomic list store append" patch, which is blocked by
the former.

I still recommend just getting along with None values. There will be
another signal shortly after with the actual values.

But it now seems to me that making .append() atomic (in terms of sent
signals) is realistic after all, working on it as fast as I can.
