Comment 10 for bug 422675

Hi,

    first of all, thanks for the replay but i'm afraid that it's not so
simple.
    That line (1147) is just a print. Ive tryed `self.LastScan[id]` but it
fails with exactly the same error. I've even commented the line and it's
still the same.
    I think the problem is related to dbus or something like that but i'm
not an expert programmer and I don't even know how dbus works deeply.

    If any developer needs any kind of backtrace or information, he/she just
has to ask for it.

Thanks
