From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030702 Galeon/1.3.6 Description of problem: This issue happens when I use glibc-57 (anything greater then like -42, in fact). It turns out that I had a /etc/X11/applnk/Graphics/xv.desktop file that had "Name=xv". It seems that only having two characters caused the bug... I increased the length and the freeze went away. I also have a galeon hanger which I hope has the same underlying bug. When I save a file, depending on the contents of ~/, I will be able to save or not.. Seems like glibc-57 is triggering a bug in gtk+ (as the graphics freezes, and glibc doesn't generally have such outstanding bugs). But I filed it hear anyway I'll try ximians gtk2 before downgrading to glibc-27.9 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.2.0.1-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. get a .desktop file in /etc/X11/applnk/*/ with "Name=aa" 2. Click on the redhat 3. Click on "Run Program..." Actual Results: dialog pops up, gtk2 freezes, strace notices a segfault Expected Results: gtk2 doesn't freeze Additional info:
ximian gtk2 didn't help.. but glibc-27.9 does the trick.. let me know if I can be of assistence in further debugging. Seems like an easy enough case to run through a debugger. I just discoverd that "known programs" dropdown.. was wondering why it was loading all desktop files then.. I wonder who actually uses that dropdown
Owen: is this the same as the bug about the file selector that was an underlying glibc problem?
Yeah, I'd be pretty positive of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 99462 ***
