Using latest glib/gtk+ with --disable-debug compile option.

% gnome-panel --version
Gnome gnome-panel 2.14.1
% pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0
2.11.3
% pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
2.9.3

Comment 2 Fabio Bonelli 2006-06-14 08:46:38 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

I can't reproduce it with gnome-panel 2.14.1.

It looks like this was due to possible incorrect values in the gconf entry:

If i clean the entry out, then it works just fine:

gconftool-2 --set  /apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/history-desktop-icon -t list --list-type=string '[]'

If you now add a dummy entry:

gconftool-2 --set  /apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/history-desktop-icon -t list --list-type=string '[/usr/local/share/icons/Lila/scalable/stock]'

Then try getting adding a custom launcher you get the crash. 

I believe this bug should be moved to libgnomeui as this is where the crash is happening !

I had this happen when right-clicking on a panel launcher and choosing Properties. I'm running Gnome 2.15.4 with libgnomeui 2.15.2, gnome-panel 2.14.2, Gentoo. Here's a stack trace:

Comment 9 Jose M. daLuz 2006-08-10 03:43:41 UTC

This still happens with gnome-panel 2.15.91/libgnomeui 2.15.91.

Comment 10 Kjartan Maraas 2006-08-10 09:19:10 UTC

Should be fixed now.
