Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Running Jessie with XFCE-Desktop and the netload-plugin in the panel.
Right-clicking on the panel-icon opens the properties/settins box.
On closing the settings-box (even if nothing has been changed) generates 4 Glib-CRITICAL messages.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I reported this issue against libglib2.0-0, see here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=709197

   * What was the outcome of this action?
The maintainer Simon McVittie replied and suggests that it is a bug in the netload-plugin:
library that they both use, or it could be a similar but unrelated bug
in xfce4-netload-plugin code.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Not running the risk to get a valid "Suorce ID" removed.

As Simon McVittie  states:
... but it is actually a potentially serious bug, because if source ID 7763 had
been reused for something else, that something else would have been
removed instead.
