CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed

[Brian J. Murrell]

A lot of GTK applications seem to be reporting on their stderr messages such as:

** (evolution:12165): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed

** (evolution:12165): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed

** (evolution:12165): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed

** (evolution:12165): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed

** (evolution:12165): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed

In the above case, it's evolution, but this is not limited to evolution.

As you can see, upstream have pushed the fix for this to 2.18. Can we get the patch applied here too, please?

Evolution on Karmic...

Evolution doens't even starts with my user, But I can start it as root.

Wierd.

I'm seeing this exact same error in the Rhythmbox debug window.
