2002-12-04 01:03 UTC, Jim Scott 		Details

Description Jim Scott 2002-12-03 04:04:48 UTC 
Package: gnome-panel
Severity: blocker
Version: 2.1.3
Synopsis: gnome-panel crashes on start
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Panel
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.1.2)

Description:
Description of Problem: gnome-panel crashes on start.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. launch gnome
2. gnome-panel crashes
3. 

Actual Results:
gnome-panel crashes whenever I try to launch it with the following errors:
** (gnome-panel:18272): WARNING **: Unable to monitor XML document.  Notification of changes in recent documents list will not beavailable.

(gnome-panel:18272): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to `GdkDrawable'


Expected Results:
2.1.2 worked for a few days without problem. I tried recompiling 2.1.2 and 2.1.3, but the error persists.

How often does this happen?
The crash happens every time I try to launch the panel.

Additional Information:
I get two errors with 2.1.2 and 2.1.3:
** (gnome-panel:18272): WARNING **: Unable to monitor XML document. 
Notification of changes in recent documents list will not beavailable.

(gnome-panel:18272): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from (NULL)
pointer to `GdkDrawable'

2.1.3 worked for awhile. I upgraded control-center to the most recent
version just before the errors started. I don't know if that has
anything to do with the panel crashing. I will install gdb to see if I
can get more useful information.

Just posting the backtrace into the main bug report so that it can be
searched using the simple-dup-finder or other queries...

Comment 3 Elijah Newren 2002-12-04 03:49:56 UTC 
Appears to be a unique stack trace from the simple-dup-finder. 
Marking severity->critical (it's a crasher), setting version->2.1.x,
adding GNOMEVER2.1 and bugsquad keywords, and marking as new.
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2002-12-05 20:28:30 UTC 
Looks similar to bug #99205.
Comment 5 Jim Scott 2002-12-06 00:43:58 UTC 
I removed the 0000001 key from
.gconf/apps/panel/profiles/default/panels and that allowed the panel
to restart. The %gconf.xml file looked like this:

Comment 6 Mark McLoughlin 2002-12-15 19:50:04 UTC 
This should be fixed in 2.1.4. We no longer reference widget->window
unless the applet has been realized.
