"beagle-search --icon" dies after leaving preferences dialog

[John Harris]

Binary package hint: beagle

In Ubuntu Jaunty, if beagle-search is run with the --icon switch, followed by clicking the icon clicked to bring up the search box, followed by entering the Preferences dialog from the menu item, when the Ok button is clicked beagle-search will die. Running it from a command prompt produces this output at crash time:

On Karmic, I have the same problem.
$ apt-cache policy beagle

This affects me too (Karmic 64 bit, beagle 0.3.9-3ubuntu1). It is really annoying that the search icon dies. Not to mention how novice users feel, not knowing how to get the beagle search icon running again (without a restart)!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Beagle, the search software, is no longer included in Ubuntu. Unrelated genetic analysis software named beagle has now been uploaded to Ubuntu's archives for the next version of Ubuntu. Therefore, to avoid confusion, I am closing this bug.
