GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 637415
libbonobo-2.32.0 breaks bonobo based applets
Last modified: 2018-06-16 13:44:15 UTC
Originally reported downstream at: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348290 This is an important regression from 2.24, probably due port to GDbus since other updates look pretty small. To reproduce the problem do the following: 1. Add some bonobo based applets, in my case: tomboy, sensors and netspeed applets. 2. Install libbonobo-2.32.0 3. Reboot 4. Login, open a terminal and run "gnome-panel --replace" Result: bonobo based applets will fail to load and the following error will be shown in terminal: ** (gnome-panel:6493): WARNING **: Failed to load applet OAFIID:SensorsApplet: System exception: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 ** (gnome-panel:6493): WARNING **: Failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_NetspeedApplet: failed to get Bonobo/Control interface: (gnome-panel:6493): Gdk-WARNING **: gdkdrawable-x11.c:952 drawable is not a pixmap or window ** (gnome-panel:6493): WARNING **: Failed to load applet OAFIID:TomboyApplet: failed to get Bonobo/Control interface: Thanks a lot for your help
No idea about where the problem could be? :-/
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/bonobo/ has been archived in Git. It is not under active development anymore and it is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality (see bug 790929). Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
