Hi, 

I have the same thing by right click on a files in thunar but in user mode or by right clicking on empty trash in the left column, anyway, it has to do with the right click...

(Thunar:477): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

(Thunar:477): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

And so on and so on...

xfce 4.10, thunar 1.4.0 on ubuntu 12.04 sever base.

Thanks

How bad can the information in a bug be?

I'm sorry but what you mean with your comment? Why is the bug resolved/invalid because it's not the case. This still happen every time I right click on a folder/directory.

Hello,

This bug report as is can't be dealt with, it lacks a lot of crucial information.

Please try to start thunar with the "G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals" environment variable. This should make thunar crash when the warning is triggered. We then need a backtrace of the crash. You can find plenty of information on how to produce a backtrace with a Web search.

Thanks in advance,

Jérôme

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. So I tried your option in normal and in gdb mode and it says:

Starting program: /usr/bin/thunar --G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
Thunar : Option inconnue --G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals
[Inferior 1 (process 5780) exited with code 01]

In fact the error occur exactly by the oppening of the popup window after the right click on a file/folder. Let me know about the unknow option and which one to use.

G_DEBUG is an environment variable ; thus you should use:

G_DEBUG=... thunar

Hello,

I modified the environnement path :

---------------------------------------
root@home:~# export G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals
root@home:~# printenv | grep G_D
G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals
root@home:~# thunar

(thunar:2886): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_get_window_type: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
Trappe pour point d'arrêt et de trace (core dumped)
root@home:~# 
---------------------------------------

I send the error message with ubuntu.

The title is : "thunar crashed with signal 5 in g_return_if_fail_warning()" 
with date : "Wed Oct 10 19:59:03 2012"

Hello,

Quoting the first of my messages:

"We then need a backtrace of the crash. You can find plenty of information on how to produce a backtrace with a Web search."
