A bunch of fixes

[Debarshi Ray <debarshi ray gmail com>]

This evening I pushed six commits to master which fix reported bugs.
Of these, five can be backported to the 0.6.x branch. I am planning to
release 0.7.1 early next week and if nothing catastrophic happens then
release 0.6.4 sometime later this month.

For your quick reference, these are the ones that l am planning to
cherry-pick for 0.6.4:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/601459
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/598045
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/597942
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/592937

What do you think?

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
