The geometry.ini file isn't modified at all when that message appears on console.
Worth saying that I set G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings to make it crash.

Is this with GLib head or with Ubuntu unstable (or other unstable distribution) or GLib from CVS?

Adding Xavier to the CC-list as I believe he had a problem with the same thing and it was due to the GLib shipped with Ubuntu unstable.

Comment 2 Xavier Claessens 2007-01-01 02:04:05 UTC

I already reported this bug. I think it's a glib bug so I re-assigned it to glib... glib guys closed my bug as resolved, so I guess they solved in upstream but feisty package isn't updated yet. So I reported it to ubuntu too:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/77278

Yep, Ubuntu. Thanks :)
