Description Andrea Santilli 2007-12-03 06:50:14 UTC
Description of problem:
I noticed this bug while running gimmie 0.2.8 (the app version)
As soon as I try to open one of the menus I get the following error:
 !!! net.sf.gaim.GaimService D-BUS service not available.
 !!! Error parsing ~/.gaim/accounts.xml: No such file or directory
 !!! im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService D-BUS service not available.
 !!! Error parsing ~/.purple/accounts.xml: No such file or directory

fallita.
159a07d9-6f0e-830e-568d27a1-771d35e5 is dumped

('asserzione fallita' means 'assertion failed')
I googled around to see what produces this error and it looks like the cause of
this is a corrupted python garbage collector.
Please also take a look at this page http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6694 since
changing the CFLAGS seems to fix this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.5.1-15.fc8

How reproducible:
always while running gimmie 0.2.8

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run an app like gimmie
2. try to open the menu
3. the app crashes
