GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 98544
Crash soon after notification area gets destroyed
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Add notification area applet to panel 2. Start rhythmbox 3. Remove the whole notification area applet 4. Rhythmbox crashes when it tries to update the notification area icon (eg. changing songs) Crashes every time. Rhythmbox needs to handle the case that the notification area icon (the GtkPlug) can be destroyed.
Duplicated issue ... Back trace as follows ....

Having looked at the code and run it through, it crashes setting the tooltip when the notification panel has been removed from the gnome panel.
Need to catch the delete event for the icon_tray, and then recreate the icon_tray. This should also recreate the entry on a gnome-panel crash. Patch to follow.
Marking this as a blocker to 0.5.0. Assigning to Colin. -harshy
This bug is just now fixed in the latest CVS. Thanks for the report!
