Sorry, I forgot to say that when the program is run again, the checkbox is set to the new value.
The crash is not good. You have forgot to execute "thread apply all bt".

(In reply to comment #3) > The crash is not good. You have forgot to execute "thread apply all bt". Sorry, did not read well that part of the howto.
I tried this in another computer with version 3.2.5, and the crash did not happen.
Pfff, I was sure that it works here, but it appears here too (git master 10 days ago)...
It seems to me that it is a crash in gtk. What does dpkg -l libgtk2.0-0 ekiga show on both computers?
I don't have access to both computers simutaneously, so, this is the output in the computer where the crash happens: ii ekiga 3.2.6~ppa~karmic1 H.323 and SIP compatible VoIP client ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2 The GTK+ graphical user interface library And I will send the other output when it happens. However, both computers are Ubuntu 9.10, then only thing is that in this case, I installed the Yannick PPA respository to check if another problem was solved in development version.

I have tested on another computer with debian and 3.2.5-1 and it crashes too. I used also valgrind and it crashes without a useful error (to my knowledge). Needs further investigation...
In Ubuntu 10.04 still crashes: ||/ Name Version Description +++-=================================-=================================-================================================================================== ii ekiga 3.2.6-1ubuntu1 H.323 and SIP compatible VoIP client ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.0-0ubuntu4 The GTK+ graphical user interface library
I know but I do not know how to fix it. I tried with valgrind without success. I think there is a timing bug: when I press Choose sound file and come back, the checkboxes do not crash anymore... Do you have an idea how to tackle this bug?
I tried to reproduce it here... no crash :-/ That doesn't help to fix the issue. Eugen, what happens when such a checkbox is clicked?
Well, it crashes immediately. 1. start ekiga 2. as soon as GUI appears, open Preferences window 3. click on a check box => crash Isn't it reproducible on your machine?
No, it isn't :-(
I think it is an error in glib. When I upgrade to 2.25.5-1 (debian), the crash does not appear any more.
*** Bug 628795 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The same release which crashed does not crash anymore now. So I suppose there was a problem with other library. If still appears, please reopen.
