synergyc crashes when opening a new gnome-terminal tab

[Jonathan Sambrook]

Binary package hint: synergy

I get the following output running with the -f option (the first instance shows the crash before the server is connected, the second instance after):

$ synergyc -f servername

Problem occurs under different WMs (Beryl and Metacity). All packages up-to-date with Feisty repo. Anything else I can tell you?

Can you supply a backtrace for this problem?

I have had trouble with synergyc / synergys crashing when not mapped correctly. Have you tried setting your .synergy.conf mapped to IP addresses vs hostnames or visa versa? this has solved synergy problems for me in the past.

Please let us know the outcome of further testing.

I cannot reproduce this on Hardy beta, with compiz on or off.
Do you still have the problem (you mentioned you were on Feisty. Have you tried on Gutsy/Hardy)?
Can you supply a backtrace for this issue?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
