Vino closes and restart automatically when "Preferences" option is open

[Guido Costa]

Binary package hint: vino

I'm testing using Ubuntu karmic 9.10. The package with the bug is vino 2.26.2-1ubuntu1.
I want to get into preferences but when i'm there vino closes and restart automatically. Then I can't access again anymore from a remote computer. Killing vino-server and restarting it doesn't work, I have to reboot Ubuntu in order to fix it.

GPU: i945
Driver: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.7.99.901+git20090702.74227141-0ubuntu1

It doesn't happen in Jaunty.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a '.crash' file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

 If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

 If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

 If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.
 I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Thanks Sebastien!
I'm using Gnome and i know that i can submit bugs with the crash
information, but in this bug there's no .crash file in /var/crash, neither
an apport window pops up. it's pretty weird.
How can i proceed to submit it?

Thanks again!
Guido
