F-spot exits/crash when opening preferences
Last modified: 2009-02-25 13:58:46 UTC
Please describe the problem: Part from seemingly random crashes (f-spot turns grey and have to force quit) I'm unable to open the preferences dialogue. F-spot simply quits when I try. Tried remove, complete removal and then reinstall in synaptic. That's where my linux skills end... Much appreciate any help :) Steps to reproduce: 1. open f-spot 2. edit->preferences 3. Crash Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Copy/paste from terminal: [Info 14:37:14.875] Initializing DBus [Info 14:37:15.110] Initializing Mono.Addins [Info 14:37:15.489] Starting new FSpot server [Info 14:37:16.637] Starting BeagleService [Info 14:37:16.637] Hack for gnome-settings-daemon engaged Exception in Gtk# callback delegate Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to handle the exception.

you should reset f-spot preference keys in gconf... in particular the screensaver key, iirc *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 560265 ***
