[Bug 1343983] Re: Fix Glade 3.8 crashes on opening file with Glib >= 2.37

[Robert Ancell]

I've fixed this in 14.10 by updating to 3.8.5 and proposed the patch for
a stable release update in 14.04 LTS.

** Description changed:

- System: Linux Mint 17 MATE Edition (based on Ubuntu 14.04)
- Glib version: 2.40.0-2
- Glade version: 3.8.0-0ubuntu6
+ [Impact]
+ glade-gtk2 crashes opening .glade files. This is due to a change in glib. This is fixed in the upstream glade project [1].
  
- When I've tried to open a file [1], Glade crashed. Upon further
- investigation I've found an upstream commit [2] from Glade 3.8.4 which
- fixes the crashes with Glib >= 2.37. I've backported this commit and
- made a patch out of it. The patch is in the attachment. Dear
- maintainers, please apply it.
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Open glade-gtk2 with the .glade file in [2]

+ Expected result:
+ Glade shows the UI from the file
+ 
+ Observed result:
+ Glade crashes
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Low, fix is from upstream
