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.)

hmm, this backtrace doesn't have anything to do with the menu plugin.  are you
by chance running the taskbar plugin in the panel?

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.

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

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.
