Can't replicate on dapper with CVS applets. I did fix a bug in that area (although it had manifested differently. What version of G-A are you running?

Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2006-01-22 01:31:14 UTC

The bug happens when a .po has a DEFAULT_LOCATION not translated by example

Comment 5 Claudio Saavedra 2006-01-22 13:28:36 UTC

This bug is happening too with my stable GNOME 2.12 from Debian packages in a newly created user unrelated to my 2.14 test user.

Crash report with gnome-applets-2.13.3-2

This problem has showed up in rawhide for awhile now. Attached is today's failure.

Comment 8 Jim Cornette 2006-02-01 02:47:53 UTC

Created attachment 58494 [details]
report from 1/18/2006

I would say that this is a confirmed bug.I have record of the failure back to 1/18. The problem happened earlier but Bug-buddy was broken for a day or so.

Comment 9 Kjartan Maraas 2006-02-01 14:16:24 UTC

After trying Davyd's patch for this issue I'm now left with the following crash when removing the applet from the panel:

Comment 10 Danielle Madeley 2006-02-01 14:31:37 UTC

This looks like a critical warning, and should technically be a separate bug.

A fix for the original bug has been committed:
2006-01-31  Davyd Madeley  <davyd@madeley.id.au>

        * weather.c: replace sscanf with g_strsplit to prevent stack smashing.
          Closes original #327406.

Comment 11 Danielle Madeley 2006-02-01 14:47:47 UTC

This'll be Kjartan's critical warning:

(lt-gweather-applet-2:9787): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed

Looking at applet_destory in gweather-applet.c; I suspect we are doing something wrong here...

Comment 12 Danielle Madeley 2006-02-01 14:56:50 UTC

This is indeed very strange, here is the destroy function:
1.78         (gowen    28-Apr-04):     }
1.78         (gowen    28-Apr-04):
1.100        (philipl  12-Dec-05):     weather_info_abort (gw_applet->gweather_info);
1.78         (gowen    28-Apr-04):
1.100        (philipl  12-Dec-05):     gtk_main_quit ();
1.53         (arvind   22-Jan-03): }

I have no idea why gtk_main_quit() was added here. I've committed the following fix:

2006-02-01  Davyd Madeley  <davyd@madeley.id.au>

        * gweather-applet.c: don't call gtk_main_quit on destroy, this would
          seem to be a regression from:
