gimp-2.4 crashes when opening a file dialog

[Gunter]

Binary package hint: gimp

Ubuntu 8.04
2.4.5-1ubuntu2
Gimp crashes reproducibly on every "Open File", "Save as", etc.
(Similar crashes occur for OpenOffice file dialogs, all other tested programs are fine w.r.t. this problem.)

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

gdb backtrace attached.

Please install the libgtk2.0-0-dbgsym, libglib2.0-0-dbgsym, gimp-dbgsym and get a new one, the trace you just submitted is missing some symbols, thanks in advance.

This bug is the same as

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/238261

The fix described in this thread (simply remove .gtk-bookmarks) works.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

marking it as dup then, thanks.
