Clipman died unexpectedly

[Bremm]

Binary package hint: xfce4-panel

Just put back Clipman (that disapeared after updating to lucid a3) and then, it zapped quickly few instants after putting it back on the panel.

(xfce4-panel:19328): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_socket_get_id: assertion `GTK_WIDGET_ANCHORED (socket)' failed

(xfce4-panel:19328): libxfce4panel-CRITICAL **: Um item foi removido inesperadamente: "Clipman".

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

A few hours ago I started to monitor Clipman with gdb, but it didn't crash again, even doing the same procedure I did:

Open Google Chrome;
Copy a section of text;
Open Mousepad;
Paste the clipboard content.

1st time I ran xfce-clipman with backtracer.sh (script from Ubuntu Wiki under Backtrace page). And now, I loaded the plugin, closed xfce and after reopening:

$ gdb --pid 32541 2>&1 | tee gdb-xfce-clipman-plugin.txt (where --pid <number> could be also `pidof xfce4-clipman-plugin`)

Only xfce4-panel-dbg exists (no idea about existence of some xfce4-clipman[-plugin]-dbg) on lucid repo, AFAIK.

If you add the debug repostitories as the debugging page explains, there would be a new package, 'xfce4-clipman-plugin-dbgsym' which contains the symbols. I have been trying to reproduce another crash, and have this installed on my lucid system.

The repository with the debug symbols should be
## required to run backtrace
## sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 428D7C01 5E0577F2
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com lucid main restricted universe multiverse

bremm@host:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo mousepad ddebs.list (pasted here ddebs repo line)
bremm@host:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 428D7C01 5E0577F2
(procedure above worked fine)

Now I'm doing a bit different, so I can have several files without risking supersed'em.

bremm@host:~$ gdb --pid `pidof xfce4-clipman-plugin` 2>&1 | tee gdb-xfce-clipman-plugin-`date +%Y-%m-%d--%H\:%M\:%S`.txt

I'll work a bit on that backtracing script to make it accept a PID instead of running a program.
