I can't figure out exactly what's happening, but messing a bit with the plugin's
configuration will eventually (after 1-3 tries) will cause it to crash the panel
completely. This occures when changing a menu file or changing the plugin's icon.

i'm going to need a bit more information, specifically, i need you to run
xfce4-panel from a terminal, using gdb.  then make it crash and get a backtrace,
and post it here.

if you aren't sure how, read this:
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/gdb.php
(these instructions were made with gaim in mind, but should explain sufficiently
how to do the same with the panel.)

Comment 3 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2004-11-02 07:59:25 CET
hmm, this backtrace doesn't have anything to do with the menu plugin.  are you
by chance running the taskbar plugin in the panel?
Comment 4 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2004-11-02 09:21:24 CET
I think it's related to the taskbar problems. - I'll try to come up with a whole
new implementation of the fix Brian made, just in case, and if things don't
improve, we shall revert for RC1.
Comment 5 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2004-11-02 18:02:39 CET
I think it's fixed now in CVS, can you retru with latest CVS (once anon CVS is
up to date)?
Comment 6 sweiss4 2004-11-02 18:09:06 CET
I do, in fact. Is it caused by it?
Comment 7 sweiss4 2004-11-02 18:12:41 CET
Oh sorry, I've missed the latest comments. I'll try to recompile from CVS.
Comment 8 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2004-11-02 18:19:43 CET
But please wait a bit, anonymous CVS is upodated only one an hour, so you'll
probably won't pick up the latest (and required) changes...
Comment 9 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2004-11-02 20:19:17 CET
should be fixed in CVS.  please mark VERIFIED if so, otherwise REOPEN if the
problem persists.
