GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 102944
After all applets are loaded, gnome-panel crashes
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I am running Redhat 7.2 upgraded to 8.0 (mainly by replacing RPM's, but not all of them), all dependencies checked, kernel 2.4.20, vanilla, with the NVIDIA 1.0-4191 drivers recompiled form source. When starting gnome-session, after gnome-panel loads all applets, it crashes with the following message: "Application "gnome-panel" (process xxx) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Aborded)". On stderr the following message is displayed: "system-tray-applet-ERROR **: file obox.c: line 107 (get_class): should not be reached aborting..." After installation, Gnome 2.0 worked well for several days, when out of blue, started to crash like this. I have not gone thru the sources, but this is annoying, so, any suggestion may be helpful. Thanks.
This is a bug in the notification area when used in a vertical panel. Make the panel horizontal again to fix it or look at bug #94625. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 94625 ***
