gnome-panel crashes when trying to add multiple background images at once
Last modified: 2005-01-04 18:42:09 UTC
Distribution: Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) Package: gnome-panel Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.6. 2.6.x Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc Synopsis: gnome-panel crashes when trying to add multiple background images at once Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel Bugzilla-Component: Panel Bugzilla-Version: 2.6.x Description: Description of Problem: gnome-pannel crashed. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. have gnome-panel running 2. Open up gnome-background-properties 3. click add Wallpaper 4. Select more than one image and click open (one image at a time seems to not crash) Actual Results: gnome-panel crashed and disappeared. I can restart it manually though. Expected Results: No crash. How often does this happen? as often as i try to add multiple wallpapers. (completely reproducible on my machine) Additional Information: [aiv@dhcp0010 ~]$ gnome-panel Suspended [aiv@dhcp0010 ~]$ bg [aiv@dhcp0010 ~]$ The program 'gnome-panel' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'. (Details: serial 7224 error_code 13 request_code 62 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused the crash. Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about getting a useful stack trace. Also, can you post the file names of the multiple images that you selected. I want to rule out this being a duplicate of bug 135089. I'm not able to duplicate the crash in 2.8, but that doesn't mean the bug doesn't still exist. I'm changing the status to NEEDINFO. If you can get a stack trace to us we can look at this bug again.
