Simple test program.

Creating a GDesktopAppInfo from a GKeyFile loaded with the data of the .desktop file of Gnome Weather seems to lead to a segmentation fault of the application.

To my knowledge it only happens with that particular .desktop file, others seem to work fine; so it's either a bug in GIO/GLib or that file is malformed but it looks right to me.

I've written a small test program in C to help reproduce the issue, it's attached to the bug report. I'm running a 64-bit Arch Linux, with Gnome Weather version 3.10.1 and GLib 2.38.0.

hi,

Pretty sure this is a dup of bug 709326.

I forgot to put that on master so I've pulled it over now.

*Forgot to put that on glib-2-38, rather.
Comment 3 Alexander De Sousa 2013-10-22 16:14:45 UTC 
Indeed it is, I just recompiled 2.38 applying the patch and there's no segmentation fault anymore.

Thanks.
