Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cairo-dock-plug-ins

We have found and corrected 4 critical bugs in the package Cairo-Dock-plug-ins.
Here is a short summary:

* LP: #575178 (MP: fixed a double-free on the "cover-dir" variable of
the banshee backend)

* LP: #523447 (MP: fixed a memory buffer overflow when getting the cover
if the artist or album has chinese/russian characters)

* CD Forum: Switcher : fixed a division by 0 in the case he number of
desktop is null (can occur if the dock is launched before the WM)

* CD Forum: Mail : allow the dock to isolate the applet if it crashes

All these bugs are critical since they cause the application to crash, and they involve memory corruption or memory overflow.
The patches are basic and almost 1 line each time.

Thanks in advance!
