Unfortunately, not reproducable. But there's a backtrace. According to the core dump: (gdb) print new_iter->setting $4 = (McsSetting *) 0x60 (gdb) print channel->settings $5 = (McsList *) 0x0 (gdb) print new_iter $6 = (McsList *) 0x8053fd0 (gdb) print new_iter->setting->name Cannot access memory at address 0x60

Oh, it's quite easy to reproduce: Just enter a image that does not exist in the configuration. You get the message: xfdesktop Fehler: lade Hintergrundbild: Datei
hmm, i'm unable to reproduce as well. if i set the backdrop to a nonexistant image, i just get the dialog as you describe (annoyingly behind all other windows, i'll fix that as well), and then when i click ok the backdrop gets set to whatever color is specified in the settings, no crash. what version of xfdesktop are you running, and what version of libxfce4mcs?
Wrong description, try this: Enter a wrong image and change the display from "Scaled" to "Auto" for example. You'll get two error messages and a crash. Maybe just making the warning message a modal dialog can help.
fix is in CVS. dannym and i worked it out and the fix works for both of us, so i'm marking as fixed. reopen if the problem persists.
fix in cvs, problem apparently not reappearing, so closing.
mass reassign from zz-do-not-use to general, so i can remove the zz-do-not-use component. sorry for the spam, search for this string to filter these: fis7cldoq35p3kjdu74emc
