Public bug reported: The Zeitgeist plugin creates a GPtrArray to give to libzeitgeist when registering a Zeitgeist datasource. libzeitgeist internally sinks this reference, but the plugin assumes the GPtrArray to still be available and later attempts to unref it.
The attached patch adds a reference to the GPtrArray to keep it available until the end of the plugin's initialisation code, where it is unrefed. The patch is designed to integrate with quilt on top of gedit 3.10.4-0ubuntu10.
