Description Andrea Santilli 2011-05-11 17:05:02 UTC
Description of problem:
when eiciel is installed, nautilus 3.x hangs whenever the user requests for the properties of a file (right click on file and select properties).

The reason is that libeiciel-nautilus.so is linked to both gtk 3.x and libgtk-x11-2.0.so making eiciel unable to correctly choose the right toolkit with which it has to build the embedded UI.

This bug could be solved by making eiciel link against gtk 3.x exclusively.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.8-1.fc15

How reproducible:
Always when using nautilus

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install nautilus 3.x
2. install eiciel
3. open nautilus and request for the properties of a file. it will hang
  
Additional info:
There are also more nautilus 3.x extensions that are linked against libgtk-x11-2.0.so but for some reason they don't make the application hang.

Comment 1 Andrea Santilli 2011-07-16 13:00:15 UTC
Please consider updating to version 0.9.8.1 as it fixes the incompatibilities with gnome3

Comment 2 Daniel Belton 2011-07-25 05:52:35 UTC
I installed version eiciel-0.9.8-1.fc15.x86_64 here, and nautilus locks up completely when trying to list properties. 

You have to do a forcefully stop nautilus to free things up.

uninstalling eiciel fixes the hang.

Comment 3 Michael Schwendt 2011-07-31 12:09:54 UTC

I've requested commit access, as that will be needed to push this to the Fedora Updates System.

Comment 4 Daniel Belton 2011-07-31 15:24:58 UTC
Thanks Michael!

I have tried it and it works great now. 

I can't give it good karma in koji, I guess I won't be able to until you are able to commit it.
