[Sugar-devel] [PATCH] Infoslicer: Avoid crash when a article is downloaded - SL #2856

I have seen a crash in Fedora 14 .
The error is the second in the ticket:

1305794514.172503 DEBUG infoslicer: load article
b5ae3528-81f3-11e0-873b-0017c4a748fe

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'sugar-activity' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 8423 error_code 159 request_code 147 minor_code 6)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
Terminated by signal 6, pid 3283 data (None, <open file '<fdopen>',
mode 'w' at 0x8cd8f98>,
dbus.ByteArray('76b6586b426d3aaa9a710551c59d77fae4d574e6',
variant_level=1))

I could reproduce it several times.

If you want, I can send you two different patches
