Description Götz Waschk 2006-01-24 16:22:38 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Programs that are linked with libglade, e.g. totem or dasher don't find their
signal handlers. A typical error looks like this:
libglade-WARNING **: could not find signal handler
'on_show_file_dir_settings_activate'.

The solution is to add gmodule-2.0 to the deps. This will add
-Wl,--export-dynamic to the linker flags. This should be added to the pc file of
libglade. The bug was worked around in totem and in mail-notification.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Ran into this problem as well.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184001

Added the --export-dynamic option to the Libs field of the libglade-2.0.pc file did fix the problem.
Comment 2 James Henstridge 2006-03-07 00:03:09 UTC 
This is covered in the documentation.  If the application fails to run because it isn't exporting its symbols, then that is an application bug.
