Description David F. Skoll 2006-10-09 19:55:54 CEST 
Debian Sarge, Intel x86, XFCE 4.4RC1 built from source.  xfdesktop segfaults
every few hours.  I managed to capture a core file, and here's the backtrace.
I don't really know how to trigger the segfault reliably, unfortunately. :-(

Comment 1 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2006-10-09 21:03:42 CEST 
Minimised app icons, or file icons?  Backtrace looks corrupt, unfortunately... There's no way I can see how col=0x0 is possible for frame #1.  I'll try to look at it this evening, though.
Comment 2 David F. Skoll 2006-10-09 21:06:54 CEST 
Minimized app icons.  And yes, backtrace might be corrupt...
Comment 3 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2006-10-11 05:43:46 CEST 
Ok, if the backtrace is correct, it's possible that the 'icon' param isn't valid.  Is there any output to console before xfdesktop crashes?
Comment 4 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2006-10-11 20:52:47 CEST 
Actually, it's possible I fixed this along with another bug.  Can you test again?
Comment 5 David F. Skoll 2006-10-11 20:56:37 CEST 
Test how... from SVN?
Comment 6 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2006-10-11 21:09:12 CEST 
(In reply to comment #5)
> Test how... from SVN?

Yes.
Comment 7 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2006-10-13 07:38:01 CEST 
If you're unable to use SVN, you can grab a tarball here:
http://spuriousinterrupt.org/files/xfce4/test/xfdesktop-svn_r23389.tar.bz2

You can install it to an alternate prefix if you want, like /opt/xfdesktop-test.  Just kill the running xfdesktop and run /opt/xfdesktop-test/bin/xfdesktop instead.
Comment 8 David F. Skoll 2006-10-13 11:26:14 CEST 
I built from SVN yesterday and it has not yet crashed.  Before, it would crash every few hours, so I guess it is fixed in SVN.  Thanks!
Comment 9 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2006-10-13 15:59:38 CEST 
sounds good...
