[Bug 1477983] [NEW] Zeitgeist plugin read/write after free on datasource registration

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

The Zeitgeist plugin creates a GPtrArray to give to libzeitgeist when
registering a Zeitgeist datasource. libzeitgeist internally sinks this
reference, but the plugin assumes the GPtrArray to still be available
and later attempts to unref it.

The attached patch adds a reference to the GPtrArray to keep it
available until the end of the plugin's initialisation code, where it is
unrefed. The patch is designed to integrate with quilt on top of gedit
3.10.4-0ubuntu10.
