createDatabase() causes an Error. getPermission() must be called before, but is not yet implemented

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in Release: rev.973

Detailed description:
google.gears.factory.getPermission() is the way to test if the user granted
Gears permissions to the application. However, this is not implemented.
This means that Factory.createDatabase() (and possibly other) calls will
throw an uncaught JavaScriptError if the user denies Gears functionality on
a Gears-enabled browser.

Workaround if you have one:
Apply this patch to the com.google.gwt.gears.Factory class.

FYI

The error is "page does not have permission to use Google Gears".
