GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 305260
gnome-panel crashes on startup when this .recently-used is active
Last modified: 2005-06-05 20:57:21 UTC
Version details: Debian's 2.10.1-2 Distribution/Version: Debian unstable On login, the panel crashes and repeatedly shows the crash dialog and restarts the panel (and crashes and so on). Moving .recently-used to a different location brought the panel back (the failsafe session started from gdm did not!).
Created attachment 46820 [details] $HOME/.recently-used Using this $HOME/.recently-used crashes the panel on startup.
Created attachment 46969 [details] Another recently-used file that crashes the panel Here's another recently-used file that crashes the panel. I got this from a Ubuntu Hoary install, and I think it's because the user had a directory with a "&" in it, but I'm not sure.
