--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 The version of dbus-python used in Trial-3 and sugar-jhbuild has a bug
 when setting non-default timeouts on asynchronous D-Bus calls: the timeout
 was meant to be in seconds, but is actually in milliseconds. dbus-python
 0.82.2 fixes this bug.

 In the interests of sanity (and also catching up with current bugfixes)
 I'd like to get dbus-python 0.82.3 (released today) into sugar-jhbuild and
 daily builds, so it can go in FRS/1.0 builds. This will mean everyone who
 uses non-default timeouts for asychronous dbus-python calls will need to
 change their timeouts to be 1000 times shorter.

 Having grepped various source trees, I think Sugar and web-activity need
 changes, but nothing else in jhbuild does.

 Because of the requirement for these changes, dbus-python >= 0.82.2 should
 NOT be shipped in Trial-3.
