[Bug 1279987] Re: usb-creator-gtk crashed with TypeError in __call__(): first argument must be the method signature string: GLib.Variant('a{sv}', {})

I made some tests on trusty with usb-creator-{common,gtk} 0.2.56.3 in
below cases:

1. no partition table (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1)
2. one ntfs partition
3. one ext4 partition
4. one fat32 partition
5. two ext4 partition

For case 1 & 2 & 3 & 5, after the erasing it prompt "There is not enough
free space for this image" and the "Make Startup Disk" button is
inactivated. After another erasing now the button is activated and I can
burn the ISO image successfully.

For case 5, there is also a timed out popup error, but by erasing for
the 2nd time the usbstick can be correctly erased.

Anyway since there is no TypeError popup issue reproduced, I think the
issue is properly fixed. I'll update the tags for Trusty.
