(Segmentation fault) Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gfloppy' (no debugging symbols found)...0x40729bc2 in waitpid () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #0 0x40729bc2 in waitpid () from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x4007a2e5 in libgnomeui_module_info_get () from /usr/lib/libgnomeui-2.so.0 #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x42075608 in strcmp () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #4 0x0804bfec in main () #5 0x42015970 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 Expected results: Anything other then a crash.

The old spec file wasn't installing a schema. It now is, but you prolly need to reset the key by doing something like: gconftool-2 -s /apps/gfloppy/default_fs -t string ext2 There's better error checking filed upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104333
