Package:  gnome-applets
Severity: critical
Version:  1.2.1-0 (helix)
Synopsis: tasklist applet crashes constantly
Class:    sw-bug

Distribution: Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman)
System: Linux 2.2.13 i686 unknown
C library: glibc-2.1.2-11
C compiler: egcs-2.91.66

Description:
The tasklist applet for me will run for a short period of time, and then
after a while, it will randomly crash. I never actually *see* it crash,
it simply disappears from the panel.

I am running RedHat 6.1, and Helix GNOME (latest).

The bug is reproducable with a GTK Engine or a GTK Pixmap theme.

This also occurs for me a number of machines (under Helix Gnome 1.2, RH6.1 or
RH6.2, GTK Pixmap theme).  If tasklist_applet is run from the command line,
when it crashes under RH6.1 it produces:

  Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
    serial 12963 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0

Hope this helps,
