Typo needs to be fixed. In addition, I am able to recreate error after clicking "OK" in the display. Not able to recreate the memory leak as described. I have recreated the memory leak once, but cannot do it reliably. It only happened once while I was debugging trying to find another problem, which also went away. See also bug #2362, which I was debugging when I saw this problem. Just reported that clearing a field can cause this, will be investigating... Unfortunately, I can't reproduce that problem, either, on my machine. What version of glib are you running? (rpm -q glib) Found and fixed -- or, since I can't reproduce this on demand, I have made a change in the source code to something that might have been causing this and was certainly wrong. If you can reproduce this with usermode-1.14 or later, I definitely want to know about it. Actually, get usermode-1.15 or later, as that fixes some other bugs where "random" things wouldn't get set properly. Get usermode-1.15 from where? I couldn't get onto redhat's ftp site, and hensa (ftp.hensa.ac.uk, a reasonably good mirror) has 1.10 as the latest. That aside, I eventually got a copy, and yes, appears fixed: no error message when I run it from gnome-terminal a 'password' box pops up instead of the error message now and I haven't managed to make it go mad again since. Thanks! Thanks for testing. |
