I am running GTK+ with CUPS and samba enable (via gnome-vfs module). If I downgrade GTK+ to 2.11.5 and it solves the crash problem.

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2007-07-22 05:14:43 UTC

This has aready been fixed in the epiphany svn trunk.
Don't know about nautilus.

Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2007-07-22 09:28:48 UTC

They do not crash on my machine (neither Epiphany nor Nautilus). Using gnome 2.19.5.

Comment 3 Christian Persch 2007-07-22 10:29:43 UTC

It's been fixed in epiphany svn, but using a <= 2.19.5 release of epiphany together with gtk+ svn trunk will still crash.

(The problem is that previously, after calling gtk_tooltips_force_window() you could be sure that GtkTooltips::tip_window and ::tip_label existed; that's not anymore the case with gtk+ >= 2.11.6.)

Comment 4 Jeremy Messenger 2007-07-22 19:51:54 UTC

I can confirm about that both nautilus and epiphany have been fixed in SVN. Thanks! Closing this.

Comment 5 Christian Persch 2007-07-23 14:03:26 UTC

The question is not whether the programmes have been fixed, but whether ABI stability should dicatate that gtk continues to provide GtkTooltips::tip_label and ::tip_window.

Comment 6 Tim Janik 2007-08-14 22:13:32 UTC

the quick immediate fix is to re-add (dummy) window and label creation in gtk_tooltips_force_window(). the ideal fix is moving all structures into private headers or .c files (Gtk+-3.0).

Comment 7 Kristian Rietveld 2007-08-15 08:18:52 UTC

Didn't know about this bug, but the fix Tim describes has been in GTK+ trunk since August 7.
