Description Serhij S. Stasyuk 2004-11-14 19:53:53 UTC 
If there is bad entry in .recently-used file gnome-panel segfaults during
strating. Sorry, but entry was lost during locating this bug (removed by myself).

It segfaults on gnome-panel/egg-recent-item.c:251 on calling strlen. Tested on
both gnonme-panel-2.8.0.1 and gnome-panel-2.8.1. I use glibc-2.3.4.20041102.

IMHO preffered behaviour is, at least, to locate problem and exit on g_assert
(see patch)

Changing pri and severity since this is a crasher and it has a patch.

Re-assigning to libegg so the patch may be reviewed

Looks good
Comment 5 Kjartan Maraas 2005-01-25 18:12:37 UTC 
I'll commit it then...But someone needs to sync up the users if that's needed.
