Hello!

mate-system-monitor dumps core, because of a glib::gio dependency, 
because gio can't find(?) a filesystem-monitor-implementation : 
"g-io-error-quark: Unable to find default local file monitor type".. 
(see below)

It would be nice if we could solve the problem before we announce the 
new release ISO images.

How can we achieve this? i am willing to help, but, because of my 
lacking experience i need someone who tells me what exactly to do..


Regards,
Stephan
