xfce4-places-plugin crashes very often,
especially if I click on checkbuttons in the preferences window.
After that it gets restarted but all settings are lost.

Archlinux x86_64
XFCE 4.8
xfce4-places-plugin 1.2.0 installed from AUR
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34568)

Comment there:
"Icon disapears often at the moment that I click it.
When the icon reappears, clicking it makes the plugin crash most of the times."

So I'm not the only one affected by this bug.
I tried to debug the crashes, outputfile is attached.
Comment 1 Thomas Lange 2011-08-05 01:25:05 CEST
"--enable-debug=full"
isn't working either because there are warnings while compiling.

The Gtk-WARNING should be also fixed.
"GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated"

Patch to fix segmentation fault

Please review this patch because I am unsure if it is correct.

installed this plugin(todays git), got error "GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated", applied patch from comment #2, everything works. why this patch still not applied in git?
Comment 5 Thomas Lange 2012-05-13 01:47:06 CEST
xfce4-places-plugin 1.3.0 is no more crashing and the GTK-Warning was fixed in the git-version.
