bug-buddy is a useful tool for reporting bugs, and makes it fairly easy to
do so. At the moment, GNOME is switching over to using bugzilla, which
should be easier to figure out.

This probably indicates that the object type is not holding a reference to
its properties page (or the reference is the floating reference). The

It would be really great if you could try to find the exact object type
(or types) that causes this problem.

I haven't really thought about a 1.0 release.
