Description Vincent Untz 2010-12-24 12:57:38 UTC 
I can't start most apps from .desktop files (from gnome-panel, gnome-shell, or even nautilus). It turns out it's a crash happening in gdk when startup notification is used.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb7200941 in XInternAtom () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6

XInternAtom() is called with display = NULL, so I guess the GdkDisplay isn't completely initialized.

Oh, and if people want to enjoy gdb in such a case: edit a .desktop file that has StartupNotify=true (for example, gcalctool.desktop) and replace the Exec line with "xterm -e gdb gcalctool".

Or define the right environment variable (DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID).
