Session D-BUS call search_driver() should return list of files

[Martin Pitt]

As discussed with Tim Waugh and Till, the search_driver() call should return a list of installed files from the packages, not just True/False. This makes it much more useful for programs like s-c-p.

Since this is an API change, it is a blocker for 0.5.

Fixed in trunk, r424.

  * Merge bug fixes from trunk:
    - Fix XorgDriverHandler to not be "used" right after enabling.
    - Make sure that dri2 is not disabled for fglrx, it crashes amdcccle. (LP:
      #273320) [Alberto]
    - Use a "refresh" icon for drivers where a reboot needs to happen.
      (LP: #272238) [Alberto]
    - Fix KDE notification and the related test. Work around segfault when
      exiting the KDE UI. (LP: #270522) [Alberto]
    - search_driver(): Return list of installed files in addition to status
      code. Document the return value in README.txt. (LP: #269311)
    - Converts search_driver() printer device ID to friendly string (only
      supports printers for now). (part of LP #269454)
    - Do not make a backup of xorg.conf if the proprietary driver is already
      set there, so that we don't automatically revert to a configuration with
      the proprietary driver after uninstalling exactly that. [Alberto]

Reopening as the API change of search_driver() still does not work due to the output data types profile not being set. See attached patch for a fix.

This must be fixed for the beta, as I have uploaded system-config-printer with activated Jockey call already.
