+Subject: [PATCH] gconf-dbus: don't crash during sync if gconfd shutting down
+
+The gconfd shuts down after a bit of inactivity.  When that
+happens there's a window where it refuses requests from the
+client library with an error.  The library is resposible for
+gracefully handling this condition and reacting appropriately.
+
+There are many places in the code where the client library has
+this idiom:
+
+db = gconf_engine_get_database (conf, TRUE, err);
+
+if (db == NULL)
+  {
+    g_return_if_fail(err == NULL || *err != NULL);
+
+    return;
+  }
+
+In the event gconfd is shutting down, db will be NULL, and the
+code will return early from whatever (non-critical) operation
+it was doing.
+
+gconf_engine_suggest_sync has a similiar chunk of code, but it
+neglected the "return;" and then promptly crashed since it wasn't
+expecting db to be NULL.
+
+This commit adds the return;
