crash when chaning settings of AlternateTab extension
Last modified: 2013-11-06 23:01:29 UTC
g-t-t segfaults when opening the configuration dialog for the AlternateTab extension: * Launch g-tweak-tool * Select Extensions * Click the cog wheel next to AlternateTab extenion (in my case, the extension is turned off) => Segfault. (gdb) bt

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 709223 ***
Created attachment 257810 [details] gnome-tweak-tool with GIL hack Dominique, Can you run the attached "gnome-tweak-tool" script and see if it fixes the problem? This is the same version sitting the gnome-3-10 branch with an added forcing of GIL creation. If this works for you I will submit the change as a patch.
Simon, thanks for the quick reply. I tested the version of gnome-tweak-tool in comment #2 and I can confirm it fixes the problem for me.
Simon, my local tests match Jean's test... seems to be an acceptable workaround.
One side-effect I'd seen is that the window to configure the extension is opened behind the main window of g-t-t (but focused)
(In reply to comment #5) > One side-effect I'd seen is that the window to configure the extension is > opened behind the main window of g-t-t (but focused) That is not related. I can't do anything about this because the configuration dialog is a separate process.

I --- I am trying to see if this is the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-tweak-tool/+bug/1228626 (I think so). I am trying to execute the script in comment 2, but it fails with Traceback (most recent call last):
+ Trace 232729
from gtweak.app import GnomeTweakTool
...probably wrong version. Could you please advise?
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report. To test git clone https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-tweak-tool cd gnome-tweak-tool git checkout -b gnome-3-10 origin/gnome-3-10 ./gnome-tweak-tool
Can't test it on Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 --- probably a dependence problem. Thanks anyway --- it seems the same problem, so I will mark this bug as upstream, I hope that some developer with more knowledge than me could port the fix down.
