RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2016-07-12 16:58:49 UTC 
Just to clarify a bit, the issue is caused by this commit:

Author: Florian Müllner <fmuellner>
Date:   Wed Jul 6 19:56:47 2016 +0200

    app: Add a construct-only app-info property

    This will allow us to create a ShellApp from JS code, for instance
    for .desktop files that aren't known to the AppSystem.

So that means the app-info property will get set unconditionally at instance creation time, even if app-info isn't explicitly set in the property list.

That commit changes _shell_app_new () to set "app-info" explicitly, but _shell_app_new_for_window() doesn't set "app-info" explicitly so the property will get set to NULL at creation time.  

If i'm reading the code right, this will cause two things to happen:

1) app->info getting set to g_object_ref (NULL)
2) shell_app_get_name (app) will get called with app->info NULL and window_backed_app_get_window() will assert because app->running_state fails.  

The patch in bug 674799 should address the second problem.  The first problem probably causes noise in the log so it should probably get fixed too.
Comment 9 Vladimir Benes 2016-07-12 20:57:39 UTC 
It works well. virt-viewer works, LO too. No crashes anymore.
