GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 117487
Panel crashes on startup
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Under an install of garnome 0.25.1 the panel crashes trying to start. If I run it manually from a shell I see the following output: $ gnome-panel ** (gnome-panel:24602): WARNING **: --- you're entering a whole world of pain --- ** (gnome-panel:24602): WARNING **: Unable to load panel stock icon 'go' ** (gnome-panel:24602): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object '4t1045064339ut384800u501p23788r2102991552k3221220524' ** (gnome-panel:24602): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object '0t1038829656ut569971u501p24638r1860256401k3221221036' ** (gnome-panel:24602): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object '0t1045064239ut552564u501p23788r1938272636k3221220652' Segmentation fault (core dumped) Core dump gives the following backtrace (Probably not very helpful?) (gdb) bt
+ Trace 38730
Other apps seem to work fine (Including nautilus/epiphany/gimp)
Clearing out my panel config from gconf made this work again (rm -fr ~/.gconf/apps/panel). Not sure if you want to leave this open since a broken config shouldn't really cause a crash ....
Could this be the same bug that I've been experiencing? For *some* users, gnome-panel 2.3.4 crashes at startup. For others, it doesn't. 2.3.4 ceases to crash when the gconf database is cleared.
Sounds like a 2.2 compatibility bug, doesn't it ?
Mark: is this useful at all ?
Do you have a backup of the gconf settings that made the panel crash? If not, I suppose we should close the bug as incomplete.
I don't have the gconf settings, so I'll close this bug.
I have a similar problem. My .xsession-errors contains: /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp /etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/X11/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "dag" SESSION_MANAGER=local/lisse.dag.wieers.com:/tmp/.ICE-unix/8862 ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'terminal_launcher_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'print_launcher_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'wordprocessor_launcher_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'email_launcher_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'spreadsheet_launcher_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'help_launcher_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'main_menu_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'web_browser_launcher_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'presentations_launcher_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'battstat_applet_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'tasklist_applet_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'pager_applet_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'clock_applet_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'mixer_applet_screen1' ** (gnome-panel:8914): WARNING **: No toplevel on which to load object 'tray_applet_screen1' And I've attached the gconf-files for my gnome-panel. What happens here is that my gnome-panel is drawn, shows some of the applets I had installed, but doesn't respond to events. (Clicking on icons or moving applets does not work). Some of the applets are not drawn (and probably not loaded).

This is the same bug as lwillis reports seeing with taking screenshots with gimp in bug #126212. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 126212 ***
