+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #213419 +++ Description of problem: If you add a second keyboard layout (eg: US International), you get a seg fault. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-10.fc6.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add keyboard indicator to panel 2. right click, keyboard preferences 3. layouts tab -> add 4. select any other keyboard layout (I use US International) Actual results: Crash dialog Expected results: no crash Additional info: I see this on my up to date FC6 machine, both i386 and x86_64. I have applied the gnome-applets update (ie: 2.16.0.1-10). -- Additional comment from lapham@jandr.org on 2006-11-01 13:03 EST -- Novell bug that sounds exactly like my problem: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216201 Possible upstream gnome bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351395 -- Additional comment from vflorins@ucr.edu on 2006-11-01 15:46 EST -- Created an attachment (id=140032) bug report from gnome-keyboard-applet Confirm bug with gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-10.fc6 -- Additional comment from lapham@jandr.org on 2006-11-04 08:00 EST -- Okay, Sergey found the problem. It is with libxklavier, not gnome keyboard indicator. See this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370038 To fix, you need to recompile v3.0 of libxklavier changing line 264: if (nodes != NULL && nodes->nodeTab != NULL) { to if (nodes != NULL && nodes->nodeTab != NULL && nodes->nodeNr > 0) { -- Additional comment from konstantin.sharlaimov@gmail.com on 2006-11-04 17:56 EST -- There is an src rpm made available (see the http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370038), and I've also created x86_64 rpm.
I've built the one line fix for this possible crash in FC6 and rawhide, and I think we should also take it for RHEL5.
