Rhythmbox crashes on launch in Ubuntu Breezy

[François Obada]

Rhythmbox 0.9.0-0ubuntu-2 crashes on launch, both from the GNOME menu and the
shell. Here is the debug output :

(rhythmbox:7585): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_pointer_ungrab: assertion
`GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed

(rhythmbox:7585): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_keyboard_ungrab: assertion
`GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed

Step to reproduce the bug :
1. Launch the latest Rhythmbox version from Ubuntu Breezy, either from the GNOME
menu or the shell.

Is this the same as
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314677
and
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314452 ?

In that case, it is fixed in GTK CVS.

this bug treats several other packages mostly gstreamer-based apps
like sound-juicer gnome-volume-control, gnome-sound-recorder, gst-editor,
gst-inspect-gui

[joe (joerg-unglaub)]

Managed to get the patch frome here:
     http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314452
working in ubuntu gtk+2.8.2 source

I think that there is actualle work in getting gtk+2.8.3 in ubuntu
the this bug is fixed there but meanwhile a attach the patch
which gets rhythmbox working.

the patch has to be put in debian/patches as
003-the_patches_name_of_your_choice.patch

gtk-screen-init fixes this bug

put in debian/patches/ to activate the patch for next build

(In reply to comment #6)

that fixed the issue for me
had some trouble making the .debs but just copying
the libgdk-x11......so made it for me.

now some the timebars in rhythmbox and gnome-sound-recorder don't move
but this could be thru my evil copy over replacement of a single gtk part
