Description jgorman 2002-10-06 00:17:52 UTC

Package: gnome-panel
Severity: normal
Version: 2.0.6
Synopsis: gnome-panel crashes on startup if default desktop position is changed
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: System Tray Applet
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3)

Description:
Description of Problem:
If you set gnome-panel property to place panel along RHS of desktop,
the
gnome-panel applet will crash upon startup.  I'm assuming this is a
problem for any setting that's not the default bottom of the desktop 

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Right click on the gnome-panel and select Properties
2. Select side position
3. logoff your gnome session and then run startx again or log backin

Actual Results:
Dialog box flashes: gnome-panel (process NNNNN) has crashed due to a
fatal error.
Issuing terminal (if you launch from a gnome terminal) reads:

system-tray-applet-ERROR **: file obox.c: line 107 (get_class): should
not be reached
aborting...

Expected Results:
Normal gnome-panel functionality, but moved to a different screen
placement

How often does this happen?
Consistently.  If I clobber the ~/.gconf/apps/panel/profiles/default
directory with a new "clean" default version, I can set the panel to
the
default bottom position and everything's fine. If I set the position in
the properties dialog box, everything's fine until I login the next
time.
