I can confirm that this bug exists also in Precise. IM(NS)HO, it looks like this crept up in the conversion (or re-write, if you will) to Gnome 3; as this problem does not exist with version 0.12.8, 0.13.1 or 0.13.3 working under Gnome 2.3x. One last comment, when using gconf-editor in a Gnome 3 fall back session, the lyrics plugin entry does not show up under '/apps/rhythmbox/plugins'; but it can be found using gconf-editor with the older versions.
While doing some other general mucking around my Precise install; I was able to perform a ``workaround`` to this problem. Install `dconf-editor` using aptitude or synaptic. (YES, ---> Dconf-editor; NOT Gconf-editor.) Create, if necessary, a folder to store your lyrics. Launch Dconf-editor, and navigate to: org > rhythmbox > plugins > lyrics in the right hand pane, there are a couple of preferences, one of them being `folder`. Type the complete path to your folder in the text box. Open Rhythmbox, and navigate to the plugins preferences, you should find the folder listed. FWIW, I have updates to version 2.95.
Created attachment 207364 [details] [review] Patch fixing issue The problem is that in code we try to get parent of widget which we create. As documentation of libpeas says there is no guarantee what kind of object it is and how it is implemented. I just removed call to set_transient_for which was using non-existing self.dialog.
