[Bug 960757] Re: whoopsie crashed with SIGSEGV in g_object_newv()

[Gerhard Vietze]

Lieber Evan, leider ist mein English nicht mehr so gut genau so wie auch 
mein beschränktes PC Verständnis, denn ich bin ab Freitag 73 Jahre alt 
und habe dazu noch massive Gedächtnisprobleme.
Vielleicht könnte ich noch etwas helfen, wenn Du mir in Deutsch 
schreiben könntest, ansonsten müßte ich warten bis mir hier mal wieder 
jemand helfen könnte. Das allerdings kann dauern, denn nur wenige 
kümmern sich noch um einen alten Mann, es sei denn er kann großzügig 
bezahlen und das ist bei mir nicht der Fall.
