Hide Forgot
if preferences dialog is displayed, program starts rapidly displaying dialog boxes which disappear immediately. this goes on for quite some time and then program crashes with segfault in gnorpm-auth.
Does that machine have networking set up?
yes, networking is configured and working.
i just tried preferences again and it opened normally. so i guess i can't reproduce it. it may have been a temporary network condition i suppose, if netwoking is involved in this opening. shaw@home has been screwing around a lot lately with this new excite@home crap.
I can believe it, there are some amazingly stupid bugs in the Gnorpm network handling code. Now if bugzilla is playing along I'll attach the fix for all the known webfind side bugs..

Alan, this patch doesn't work: ../find/libfind.a(trans.o): In function `complain': trans.o(.text+0x43): undefined reference to `gnome_appbar_get_type' trans.o(.text+0x52): undefined reference to `gtk_type_check_object_cast' trans.o(.text+0x5b): undefined reference to `gnome_appbar_pop' trans.o(.text+0x66): undefined reference to `gnome_appbar_get_type' trans.o(.text+0x74): undefined reference to `gtk_type_check_object_cast' trans.o(.text+0x7d): undefined reference to `gnome_appbar_push' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [tester] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/gnorpm-0.9/find'
Please see if you can reproduce this problem after doing this: $ rm -r ~/.gnome/gnorpm ~/.gnome/gnorpm.d
deleted the gnorpm files. program doesn't crash just dialog boxes flashing away and then finally the preferences dialog opens.
fixed in gnorpm-0.9-15 and later.
