           Summary: Setting properties to wrong types should fail
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: telepathy-mission-control
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk


The mcd_dbusprop API has no way to raise an exception. This means that setting
properties to an inappropriate type (or value) cannot fail, so the best it can
do is to spam to stderr, do nothing, and "succeed".

(I have a branch to fix MC's current behaviour, which is worse - an assertion
failure or a segfault while accessing the GValue.)
