Prompt crash of vino-preferences when disabling 'Allow other users to view your desktop'
Last modified: 2005-05-16 12:47:22 UTC
Distribution: Debian 3.1 Package: vino Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.10.0 2.10.x Gnome-Distributor: Ubuntu Synopsis: Prompt crash of vino-preferences when disabling 'Allow other users to view your desktop' Bugzilla-Product: vino Bugzilla-Component: Preferences Dialog Bugzilla-Version: 2.10.x BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.10.0) Description: Description of the crash: I got a strange message pop window 'could not grab mouse, a malicious client ...' (this is all i remember), found it strange, felt tempted by paranoid mood and when i disabled remote desktop sharing it crashed down on me once i hit that checkbox. Steps to reproduce the crash: 1. Open 'Remote Desktop Preferences' 2. Deselect 'Allow other users to view your desktop' 3. Crash Expected Results: Not crash. Wait for Close button to be hit. How often does this happen? Reproducable (at least at the moment) Additional Information: Interesting enough (from my subjective point of view) that requested changes are comitted even though the app (eg configuration panel) crashed the same moment. Nice. Would qualify for a minor if 'crash'-messages wouldn't disturb the user experience that much. But what am I to say. Thanks for looking into this issue. Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/vino-preferences' (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1". ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2005-03-27 17:02 ------- Unknown platform unknown.
