------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 Testing Sugar 0.87.7 in an F11 VM. Looking through existing entries in
 Journal shows a number of 'invisible' slots at the end of the Journal that
 I think aligns with broken/empty Journal items (that can be left hanging
 around after Sugar crashes). Mousing over the blank area left causing
 partial widget redraws for the missing items (see attached screen shot).
 Either Journal should list broken entries as broken objects (allowing the
 user to know there was some breakage and delete them manually); or the
 datastore should be cleaning up and/or not be returning empty/broken data
 to the Journal to incorrectly display.

 Found this shell.log traceback which may be related:

 {{{
 Traceback:
 File ".../install/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/journal/listview.py",
 line 425, in update_dates
 path = tree_model.get_path(next_iter)
 TypeError: iter should be a GtkTreeIter
 }}}

 On later examining of the Journal these blank items are now not showing
 anymore, so perhaps there is indeed some background clean-up of broken
 entries going on.
