[Timothy Arceri (t-fridey)]

Is this still an issue with a more recent version?

[Lars Karlitski (larsu)]

Some widget (probably a custom one from empathy) reported a negative minimum size, resulting in gtk to abort on an assertion. So this is not really a gtk issue. Since it is quite old and I cannot reproduce it in newer versions, I'll close it.

If this is still a problem for anyone, feel free to reopen this bug and add empathy as being affected.
