Description Matthias Clasen 2006-11-22 14:21:16 UTC
This was originally filed upstream as:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363437
it is a bad bug, since it can cause the panel to crash at startup, rendering
your desktop unusable.

Fixed in upstream cvs

Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2006-11-22 20:25:30 UTC
Fix is in gtk2-2.10.4-6.el5

Comment 3 Nicole Dai 2006-12-04 06:48:54 UTC
I tried testing the following steps got from
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379863 which is one of duplicates of
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363437 with gtk2-2.10.4-7.el5 on
RHEL5-Client-20061201.0.
1. Open a link like this in epiphany:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkRecentManager.html#GtkRecentManager-struct
2. Press <Ctrl>u to see the source
3. In that moment the gnome panel crashes

Test result:
No gnome panel crash occurred. 

As it is difficult to reproduce all crashes filed in 363437 and itsduplicates, I
can just verify the bug according to the above testing. 

Comment 4 Nicole Dai 2006-12-04 06:50:47 UTC
As there is no crash found in previous testing and other normal operations,
resolve the bug now.
