Cannot open files

[Pim Vullers]

When trying to open files (either from commandline argument, open button or the sidebar) I get the following error printed and scratch terminates:

g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting.

Using Scratch from trunk, Glib 2.39.2, Vala 0.22.1, Gtk+ 3.11.4, GtkSourecView 3.11.2, Gvfs 1.18.3, Gee 0.12.0, build on Gentoo Linux.

I just build scratch 2.0.2 only with the gee-0.8 patch against the libraries I used (latest development releases), to figure out whether it is a scratch issue or that it is caused by one of the libraries... but the 2.0.2 build works just fine. So this is caused by something that changed in scratch since then.

[Pim Vullers (pimvullers)]

I investigated a little further and reverting the zeitgeist-2.0 commit solved the problem for me (this is also reverted in the 2.x branch).

Please confirm whether this is an outstanding bug in Scratch using a recent version.
