the crash is triggered by a fedora-specific patch: http://ssp.fedorapeople.org/background/bg-gnome-desktop.patch http://ssp.fedorapeople.org/background/bg-eel.patch seems like a lot of fedora7 users run into this issue (>80 duplicate reports so far in gnome bugzilla). i have only seen reports from fedora7 so far, no fedora8beta reports, so perhaps this issue has been fixed in the meantime. if so, shipping a backport patch for fedora7 would be highly appreciated to lower the workload of the gnome bugsquad. stacktrace taken from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439977#c84 : #3 <signal handler called> #4 slideshow_free (show=0x0) at gnome-bg.c:1551 #5 0x009b54d5 in get_as_slideshow (bg=0x8ff9438, uri=0x8ff45a0 "file:///home/thst/.gnome2/wallpapers/LucidaGrande.dfont") at gnome-bg.c:1622 #6 0x009b6440 in get_pixbuf (bg=0x8ff9438) at gnome-bg.c:1149 #7 0x009b6ff8 in gnome_bg_create_pixmap (bg=0x8ff9438, window=0x9008d10, width=1680, height=1050, root=1) at gnome-bg.c:399 #8 0x03e08219 in eel_background_get_pixmap_and_color (background=0x8fc4960, window=0x9008d10, color=0xbf876104, changes_with_size=0xbf876110) at eel-background.c:339 #9 0x03e082e3 in eel_background_set_up_widget (background=0x8fc4960, widget=0x8ffb000) at eel-background.c:681 #10 0x001b8199 in IA__g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID (closure=0x8cf75d8, return_value=0x0, n_param_values=1, param_values=0xbf87635c, invocation_hint=0xbf87626c, marshal_data=0x3e08730) at gmarshal.c:77 #11 0x001aada2 in IA__g_closure_invoke (closure=0x8cf75d8, return_value=0x0, n_param_values=1, param_values=0xbf87635c, invocation_hint=0xbf87626c) at gclosure.c:490 #12 0x001bb4d3 in signal_emit_unlocked_R (node=0x8c026b0, detail=0, instance=0x8ffb000, emission_return=0x0, instance_and_params=0xbf87635c) at gsignal.c:2440 #13 0x001bc9f7 in IA__g_signal_emit_valist (instance=0x8ffb000, signal_id=44, detail=0, var_args=0xbf87659c "\221ú,") at gsignal.c:2199 #14 0x001bcbb9 in IA__g_signal_emit (instance=0x8ffb000, signal_id=44, detail=0) at gsignal.c:2243 #15 0x04a8a06a in IA__gtk_widget_realize (widget=0x8ffb000) at gtkwidget.c:2498 #16 0x04a8a359 in IA__gtk_widget_map (widget=0x8ffb000) at gtkwidget.c:2415 #17 0x048d9bc5 in gtk_container_map_child (child=0x0, client_data=0x0) at gtkcontainer.c:2387 #18 0x0489819f in gtk_bin_forall (container=0x8fec350, include_internals=1, callback=0, callback_data=0x0) at gtkbin.c:133 #19 0x049c59e8 in gtk_scrolled_window_forall (container=0x8fec350, include_internals=1, callback=0x48d9ba0 <gtk_container_map_child>, callback_data=0x0) at gtkscrolledwindow.c:986 #20 0x048d74bb in IA__gtk_container_forall (container=0x8fec350, callback=0x48d9ba0 <gtk_container_map_child>, callback_data=0x0) at gtkcontainer.c:1261

Thanks. This bug is in F8 as well. I'll ship updates soon.
Søren, any news here? Will this be fixed in Fedora 8? Yes, we still get a lot of reports in GNOME Bugzilla. ;-)
Sorry about that. I'll get to this tomorrow, I promise. (I had a mail issue that caused me to not see a lot of bugzilla mail).
gnome-desktop-2.20.1-2.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
gnome-desktop-2.18.3-4.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
according to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503981#c2 this is not fixed in 2.18.3-4.fc7. i've asked the reporter to provide a better stacktrace, will reopen this report when we have one.
