+#
+# Description: When you change theme with notification-properties and press
preview button,
+# the notification-daemon crashes and notification-properties
gets an error message.
+# The problem depends on closing unproperly the module
(engine->module) because it is closing when it is still
+# in use. The patch concerns a correct way to close G_Modules and
destroy engine.
+# First it destroys widget notification, then it decreases
"engine->ref_count" and if requested (engine->ref_count == 0),
+# it destroys engine. These steps will be made by the function
theme_destroy_widget, that will have to be called every-time
+# you want to destroy notification widget (daemon.c).
+#
+#Practically the daemon destroys engine, in particular "engine->module", when
it is already used by the notification pop-up.
+#The correct way to destroy engine is this:
+# -) Destroy notification pop-up by calling "gtk_distroy_widget".
+# -) Decrease value of "engine->ref_count" and if it is equal to zero,
unload engine->module and destroy engine.
+#
+#Currently the daemon works in this modality:
+# -) It calls the invokes the destruction of a notification pop-up by
calling "gtk_destroy_widget", but with this event is also called
"theme_engine_unref".
+# -) It decreases value of "engine->ref_count" and if it is equal to
zero, it unloads "engine->module" and destroys "engine".
+# -) It ends the destruction of a notification pop-up.
+#
+#The daemon unloads engine->module when it is still in use by gtk_widget.
