From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021216 Description of problem: I have two custom python/gnome applications which break on upgrade from phoebe1 to phoebe2 and tracked the problem down to libgnomeui - if I force downgrade to phoebe1 libgnomeui both applications start working again and if I upgrade it back to 2.1.90-* it starts segfaulting when trying to read the <application>.glade file. Maybe there's something strange in the glade-files (I just have no idea what to look for) but I don't think it should segfault anyway... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): >= 2.1.90-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Using the attached sohofw.glade file..

Additional info: Both applications were originally created with glade-1 (on RH7.2 I think) and then ported to RH8.0/Gnome 2.0 (glade files converted with glade-2's conversion tool).

Created attachment 89455 [details] .glade file to reproduce the problem
A further datapoint: I just realized that I have a third "application" (really minimal) which was originally created on RHL8.0 beta (null2 I think) which breaks the same exact way on phoebe2 so it doesn't seem to be related to converting from Glade1 to 2.
Created attachment 89966 [details] Minimal glade file to reproduce the problem. This is actually reproducable on current rawhide really easily: 1) start up glade-2 2) create new project, doesn't matter if it's gtk or gnome project 3) add a gnome application window 4) save the project and try to load the glade file from python -> segfault. You can actually delete the button bar, menu & the base vbox and it still segfaults and still downgrading (rpm -Uvh --nodeps --oldpackage libgnomeui-2.1.2-1.i386.rpm from phoebe1) fixes it.
in order to use any GNOME classes, you must import the gnome module and initialize it: import gtk.glade import gnome import gnome.ui gnome.program_init("myprogram", "0.1") xml = gtk.glade.XML('minimal.glade')
Doh.. so it was my bad afterall, I just was caught by surprise to see a previously working bits break between betas :) Thank you for the tip!!
