This isn't the right fix for this - all it's doing is masking the real bug, which is that gdu_pool_new returns a NULL pointer

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

We discussed this on #ubuntu-desktop this morning - we really need to find a proper fix for this, so I'm reopening it for now

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

lucid still collects crashes on this issue adding a lucid task it would be nice to fix in a stable update

[lowlux (lowlux)]

FIX IT
