Steps to reproduce:
#include <gtkmm.h>

Glib::thread_init();
Glib::RefPtr<VolumeMonitor> vm = VolumeMonitor::create();

/* Derefencing the pointer results in a SEGFAULT. */
vm->get_connected_drives();

Comment 1 Jonathon Jongsma 2007-09-16 16:12:33 UTC 
This kind of problem ("failed to wrap type...") is generally caused by not initializing the library properly.  I believe if you add the following line after Glib::thread_init(), it should work properly:

Gnome::Vfs::Init();

If this doesn't fix the problem, feel free to reopen the bug.
Comment 2 Martin Reissner 2007-09-25 17:38:27 UTC 
Thanks for clearing this up. The solution is to replace the Glib::thread:init(); with Gnome::Vfs::init; With both init functions i got an error because of that.
