Description Krzysztof Klimonda 2009-08-02 06:24:34 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
A following traceback is thrown when I try to access a preferences menu:
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 216745

  • File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/hamster/applet.py", line 878 in show_preferences 
    self.preferences_editor = PreferencesEditor(self)
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/hamster/preferences.py", line 94 in __init__ 
    self._gui = stuff.load_ui_file("preferences.ui")
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/hamster/stuff.py", line 36 in load_ui_file 
    ui.add_from_file(os.path.join(SHARED_DATA_DIR, name))
GError: Duplicate object id 'dummy' on line 272 (previously on line 222) 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Right-click on hamster-applet
2. Select Preferences
3. Profit


Actual results:
A traceback is thrown

Expected results:
To see open Preferences dialog

Does this happen every time?
No, but it's fairly often - I was able to reproduce it ~10 times in last 10 minutes.

Comment 1 Toms Bauģis 2009-08-02 09:08:18 UTC 
Thanks for the report Krzysztof!

Gave all the objects with id "dummy" more appropriate names.
Just out of interest - I could not reproduce the crush on my system though - are you running some kind of special testing version or are you testing gnome 2.27 all together?

Fixed in git master
Comment 2 Krzysztof Klimonda 2009-08-02 09:12:25 UTC 
It's a Ubuntu development version so I have most of GNOME 2.27.x (and GTK+ 2.17.x).
