Package: python-kde3
Version: 3.16.0-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Running guidance-power-manager (an app that uses python-kde3), right-clicking
on the battery icon on the dock and choosing either suspend or resume, results
in the following error. The traceback indicates that the error occurs in
dcopext.py, hence the reason this bug is submitted to the python-kde3 package.
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not sure whether this is a geniune bug in python-kde3 or
guidance-power-manager is not using the library properly. The attached patch
fixes the problem, as far as guidance-power-manager is concerned, but I leave
it to you whether that's the right way to go.
