Confirming my own bug; archiving GAIL symptoms.

I have seen this error mentioned in bugs 264612 & 276628 as well as on our old Berlios site (http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=14233&group_id=2230). Seems to be a bug in GAIL, but perhaps our code is doing something wrong to trigger it.

I disabled GAIL, but the application crashed again. This time I did get the

"linuxdcpp: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0."

error.

(linuxdcpp:10956): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that someone
called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating
reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone
and must be removed with g_object_ref_sink().
linuxdcpp: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

Program exited with code 01.

No stack.

Oops, I commented on the wrong issue. Sorry.

[Steven Sheehy (steven-sheehy)]

Doesn't seem like an issue with linuxdcpp so forwarding to gail.

[Steven Sheehy (steven-sheehy)]

Hmm...actually gail doesn't have a upstream contact on launchpad and I can't find a way to link it to the ubuntu package of gail on here....
