 Hi,

 The following piece of Python code does not work:

 {{{
 current    = self.dbusInterface.PurpleSavedstatusGetCurrent()
 statusType = self.dbusInterface.PurpleSavedstatusGetType(current)
 }}}

 It throws an exception because status is a dbus.int32 while
 PurpleSavedstatusGetType() want a dbus.uint32. The solution is to cast
 statusType into a dbus.uint32 but maybe the inconsistency should be fixed.

 As a side note, this code used to work previously and stopped working with
 Ubuntu Gutsy. Maybe some extra checks have been added recently in D-Bus.
