Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2010-07-09 12:11:52 UTC

I'm not quite sure where the problem is. Stack trace probably not useful due to async mode (but in X sync mode everything works fine)

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
g_logv (log_domain=0x7f653f062497 "Gdk", log_level=<value optimized out>, format=0x7f653f080e27 "%s", args1=0x7fffa4b995f0) at gmessages.c:555

Ok. I manage to not reproduce the error once (with --sync which mislead me). The full stack trace is here:

It seems that with gnome-terminal 2.31.90 it happens much earlier.
