Bug Description

Binary package hint: leafpad

Tested in Jaunty, but was present in earlier versions.

To reproduce :
- Open ~/.config/leafpad/leafpadrc
- The file should contain some parameters
- Empty the file
- Launch leafpad from a terminal: you'll get a fragmentation error
- Delete the configuration file
- Leafpad will create a new one and run correctly

I don't know why but I had an empty configuration file, so I wasn't able to use leafpad until removing the file.
