Title:
  Compilation warning in bamf-application.c because of implicit cast of
  try_create_local_desktop_data return value

Status in BAMF Application Matching Framework:
  Fix Released
Status in bamf package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  try_create_local_desktop_data contains an invocation of the
  g_return_val_if_fail macro, which in case of failure returns NULL
  instead of a gboolean value (the return type signature of the try_...
  function).

  This is wrong on two different counts:
  - implicit cast warning, which when warnings are treated as errors cause compilation failure
  - if NULL is explicitly cast to gboolean, it yields another error as a pointer has differing size as a gboolean (even though in this case it's all-zero)

  The correct fix is to have g_return_val_if_fail return FALSE instead
  of NULL.
