Bug#265364: mergeant: Can't select any database in connect dialogue

[Johannes Rohr]

Package: mergeant
Version: 0.12.1-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I've configured a MySQL DB using gnome-database-properties. When I
launch mergeant and click on "Connect", the connection dialogue appears
which no DB selected in the dropdown menu. When I try to select a DB,
nothing happens. Mergeant emits the following message to STDERR:

(mergeant:22684): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmenu.c: line 1235
(gtk_menu_popup): assertion `GTK_IS_MENU (menu)' failed

(mergeant:22684): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmenu.c: line 1470
(gtk_menu_get_active): assertion `GTK_IS_MENU (menu)' failed

Since there is no command line option to connect to a particular DB on
startup, this clearly renders the package unusable for all those who see
this bug.

Thanks,

Johannes
