Setting priority->high & severity->critical. Warren: This is the same as bug 110984, which you submitted. A number of people are getting this (and this seems to be a gtk problem), but the stack traces are unfortunately useless and we don't know how to reproduce the problem. Can you try getting a better stacktrace for us? Owen posted the following comment in one of the duplicates on how to do so: Could you install http://people.redhat.com/otaylor/tmp/gtk2-debuginfo-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm and if the problem occurs again, submit the backtrace you get. Installing the debuginfo package will make the backtrace much more useful. I'm adding myself to the cc list so that I can catch any extra info attached and forward it to where-ever it needs to end up. Marking as needinfo for now.
This crash happens so rarely that I haven't been able to reproduce it since I installed the debuginfo package. I rebuilt all of the Gnome SRPMS since April 21st and installed debuginfo.
Yeah, it seems really rare. We have approximately 15-30 duplicates of this spread across at least half a dozen gnome programs. All of them describe the bug as "mysterious". Thanks for trying and let us know if you ever get a stack trace with debugging symbols. :)
If you have any more useful information about these crashes, please post them in bug 105745. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105745 ***
