[Bug 1261096] Re: whoopsie-preferences respawns whoopsie in an infinite loop

[Iain Lane]

AFAICT this problem comes from activity-log-manager getting into a loop
with its checkbox toggle handler and the handler that takes care of
seeing whoopsie-preferences's properties change. When preferences times
out, a signal is sent out which confuses the UI.

A workaround is to not execute the handler in this case, which is what
I'm going to upload.

Title:
  whoopsie-preferences respawns whoopsie in an infinite loop

Status in “activity-log-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “whoopsie-preferences” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1. Go to system settings -> security and privacy -> diagnostics
  2. wait about 1 minute
  3. whoopsie-preferences starts respawning whoopsie in an infinite loop

  (If nothing happens after about a minute, try changes some preferences
  and waiting again)

  init (PID 1), dbus, polkitd and whoopsie-prefences then peg a cpu at
  100%.  Everything settles back down when system settings is closed.
