libwnck crash due to non official package

[Philip Paquette]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If I right click on any running apps on the gnome-panel and I select "Always on Visible Workspace" and then right-click again on the same app, gnome-panel crashes.... So there is no way to remove the "Always on Visible Workspace" option...

Running on Edgy...

Thanks for your bug. The backtrace looks like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346523 upstream. Do you use a multi-monitor setup? Do you use compiz or some other composite manager or non-default feature? Could you get a backtrace with libwnck18-dbgsym installed (from "deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs edgy main universe")?

OK...

I tried to install libwnck18-dbgsym with the repo you told me and I got the following:
> sudo apt-get install libwnck18-dbgsym

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libwnck18-dbgsym: Depends: libwnck18 (= 2.16.1-0ubuntu1) but 2.16.1-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
E: Broken Packages

----

So I ran the backtrace without installing the debugging symbols first (See file attached). Then to fix the dependency error, I downgraded libwnck18 to 2.16.1-0ubuntu1 and tried to rerun the backtrace, but the panel wasn't crashing anymore!! Strange...

For composite managers, I used to have beryl installed, but I removed it successfully a while ago, so I don't think it has anything to do with this bug. I don't have any other non-default settings and I use a single monitor (running on my laptop)

Hope this helps

Where did you find that "2.16.1-0ubuntu1.1" version, that's not an
official package

deb http://www.beerorkid.com/compiz edgy main-edgy

An old repo that I never removed...

Not an Ubuntu bug then, they might ship some broken patch, better to contact people doing those packages about that problem
