Other information:
Actually, it happens in this way since i have removed /apps/panel from
my .gconf, in a desperate attempt to solve a different, less frequent,
crash. I now see two panels (top and bottom) get created, whereas i had
only one before, so i guess it is loading some kind of default
configuration.

The previous crash i was getting was only when clicking on my foot menu.
I also have a backtrace for this one, i will attach it too. They both
look very similar, but i can't say much more...

My system is the following:
Gentoo Linux, i686, gcc-4.1.0, glibc-2.4-r1
CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -g"
gtk+-2.8.16, glib-2.10.1, gnome-desktop-2.14.0, gnome-applets-2.14.0,
gnome-menus-2.13.5

Please ask if you need to know anything else...

Created attachment 61743 [details]
an other backtrace

This is the first crash i've got, with my original panel settings, while trying to open the foot menu.

Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2006-03-22 07:15:39 UTC

Try to move your ~/.gtk-bookmarks file as a workaround. This is probably because it contains an URI like burn:// or something like this.

Comment 3 Thomas de Grenier de Latour 2006-03-22 12:52:18 UTC

Good catch, many thanks.
There was a "computer:///" bookmark at the end of the file (i don't know why, that's not a file i remember having ever edited by hand), and removing it fixed the crash.

Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2006-03-24 21:17:41 UTC

Should be fixed in HEAD.
