GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 569311
Panel stuck in endless crash-restart loop after launching an app
Last modified: 2009-01-27 17:13:52 UTC
My test system is Mandriva Cooker in Virtualbox. After loading the Gnome desktop, the panel shows. However after launching a random application (say gnome-terminal), the panel crashes and ends up in an endless crash-restart loop. I've attached gdb to the process and it looks like libwnck is involved: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000000 in ?? () (gdb) bt
+ Trace 211922
The program is running. Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) y Detaching from program: /usr/bin/gnome-panel, process 6680
FWIW, this code in libwnck hasn't changed since quite some time, I think. (In reply to comment #0) > (gdb) bt > #0 0x00000000 in ?? () > #1 0xb7c4f104 in gtk_toggle_button_clicked (button=0x85758d8) > at gtktogglebutton.c:505 Can I know which line this is? In trunk, the file has less than 505 lines :-) And gtk_toggle_button_clicked looks like this: static void gtk_toggle_button_clicked (GtkButton *button) { GtkToggleButton *toggle_button = GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON (button); toggle_button->active = !toggle_button->active; gtk_toggle_button_toggled (toggle_button); gtk_toggle_button_update_state (button); g_object_notify (G_OBJECT (toggle_button), "active"); }
Also, Seb thinks it might be an issue with GTK+ 2.15.2. Is this the version you're using?
Yes, my GTK+ version is 2.15.2.
