crash or bug when opening linked file folder

[Loïc Meunier]

Hi,

zim crash when I click on the icon of the linked file browser plugin that open the folder in the system file browser (thunar for me) with debian 8 Xfce.

Segmentation fault :

INFO: Spawning: ['xdg-open', '/home/lo/Documents/MES_DOCUMENTS/CARNET/3._A_VOIR/AGENDA'] (cwd: None)
Erreur de segmentation

After that zim takes 10/15 sec to open again when launch.

---

from the menu I have an error but no crash :

Happens also on Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 with Nautilus 3.20.

I have tracked down the root cause to the statement gobject.threads_init() in zim/main/__init__.py. After removing that line I have seen no more segfaults on my linux system.

Will push a patch and update the daily PPA this evening. Anyone who wants to test already please edit and remove the line mentioned manually.
