Description Émeric Maschino 2006-01-17 09:27:58 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
rhgb no longer works and when starting a GNOME session, the plain blue color background (below the Fedora Core background image) and the cross mouse cursor is displayed for a few milliseconds and then I'm back to the console. I can't find useful informations in the logs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gtk2-2.8.10-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to gtk2-2.8.10-2
2. Restart gdm or manually start up a GNOME session with startx
3.
  

Actual Results:  rhgb and a GNOME session can't be started anymore. gdm tries to start a GNOME session several times but it's finally suspended for two minutes because the X server is jointly started 6 times during the past 95 seconds without success.

Expected Results:  rhgb should display the boot informations and I should be able to start a GNOME session with gdm or startx.

Additional info:

Reverting to gtk2-2.8.9-1.1 solves the problem. But gnome-volume-manager and the GNOME applets won't work. To correct this, revert back to gnome-volume-manager-1.5.7-2 and gnome-session-2.12.0-5. Thus, everything is fine like previously.

I think the crash is happening in glib2. gtk2-2.8.10 release notes makes a
point about requiring glib2-2.8.5. Since there seems to be abi differences
between the two, could this be the source of the problem?
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2006-01-19 12:30:40 UTC 
Please try with gtk 2.8.10-3
There was a crasher bug on 64bit platforms that was fixed.
Comment 4 Émeric Maschino 2006-01-20 08:29:04 UTC 
gtk2 2.8.10-3 solves the problem. My GNOME desktop is back, but all the applets
(clock, desktop switcher, volume sound, etc.) are crashing at startup.
Comment 5 Michel Alexandre Salim 2006-01-21 00:34:41 UTC 
I can confirm that the fix works on x86_64 as well. Gaim now works, thanks.
Comment 6 Émeric Maschino 2006-01-21 01:41:23 UTC 
With today updates, the GNOME applets are working correctly. Great job girls and
guys!
Comment 7 Émeric Maschino 2006-01-21 02:34:39 UTC 
I just noticed that gnome-panel is crashing when you log out a GNOME session.

In fact, it crashes when you check "Enable software sound mixing (ESD)" in the
sound preferences.
Comment 9 Ian Burrell 2006-01-21 21:13:27 UTC 
gaim is working fine now on x86_64.
Comment 10 Matthias Clasen 2006-01-24 12:33:41 UTC 
Thanks for testing
