[Bug 617885] Re: gparted crash at start: glibmm-ERROR **

[Michael Bienia]

gparted 0.7.0 is in Ubuntu natty (the current Ubuntu development
version). And the links from other comments point to debs from natty.

Comment #53 contains a ready patch for a possible Ubuntu maverick SRU
and it just awaits review and sponsoring from an Ubuntu core-dev. This
bug is listed on the overview page with pending sponsoring requests but
nobody picked it up till now :(
