Description Simon McVittie 2009-05-04 07:41:48 UTC 
The mcd_dbusprop API has no way to raise an exception. This means that setting properties to an inappropriate type (or value) cannot fail, so the best it can do is to spam to stderr, do nothing, and "succeed".

(I have a branch to fix MC's current behaviour, which is worse - an assertion failure or a segfault while accessing the GValue.)

Fixed in beta 70 or thereabouts
