add g_thread_init() calls (884 bytes, patch)

Description Frederic Peters 2008-12-23 22:15:13 UTC 
Aftermath of bug 564726, it is now required for modules using ORBit2 (implied
by gconf for example) to declare they will be using threads.

** (gnome-user-share:14644): WARNING **: g_thread_init() has not been called. ORBit2 would like to use threads, so the application should have called g_thread_init(NULL) before any GLib or GLib-using API. Calling g_thread_init() now here inside the libORBit-2 library is too late, so instead threads won't be used by ORBit2. This might have bad side-effects. Fix the application!

add g_thread_init() calls

This patch adds the appropriate call to g_thread_init (to both gnome-user-share and the preferences dialog).

Hello, 

I did a patch for that already but I forgot to patch the preference :).
I'm not the maintainer but the patch seems good to me, anyway let's wait for Bastien.

Frankly, I think it's a bug in Orbit, or GConf, that we even get that warning. It's completely stupid for each application to have to be patched.

~/gnome-user-shared/src/ $ grep -i thread *.c
~/gnome-user-shared/src/ $

Suck. Where's the original bug opened against those libraries?

Bug 547885.
Comment 6 Bastien Nocera 2009-01-05 16:00:11 UTC 
Orbit was reverted, closing.
