Michael Terry (mterry) wrote :

So the crash itself is due to GtkMenuItems created in entry_added() in indicator-applet hanging around after their IndicatorObjectEntry objects have gone. When they are activated, they start making function calls with the obsolete entry object and end up causing a crash.

This is borne out by the duplicates, which mention menu items sticking around from other applications. I haven't figured out why that happens yet, but am looking.

I'm having difficulty reproducing to find out how this situation occurs. Does anyone affected by this have suggestions for reproduction? Obviously I have to be not in unity, using the gnome-panel appmenu applet, but I've lived in it a little while, and nothing has come up.

the bug was listed in this upload:

libdbusmenu (0.3.100-0ubuntu4) natty; urgency=low

  * libdbusmenu-gtk/parser.c
    - Ensure we set the CACHED_MENUITEM data on GtkWidget's, this fixes a few
      bugs (LP: #723463) (LP: #729128) (LP: #729194)

but not sure it does fix the crash as well or not

I'm going to go ahead and mark this as invalid so that if someone gets it again we can get a new stack trace. This one is too old to be of more use. Thanks everyone, hope we can get another trace.
