dockbar crashes when being started

[marzojr]

Latest dockbarx (0.39.5.1) crashes when being added to gnome-panel. Executing 'dockbarx_factory.py run-in-window' from a terminal prints the following:

** (dockbarx_factory.py:15085): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

I was also getting this same error. DBX was also not launching when added as an applet to AWN (0.40).

For what it is worth installing the following packages (running Linux Mint 9 x64) solved this for me:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zeitgeist/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libx11-6 libxcomposite1 zeitgeist

Thanks for the report.

@J Sanders: those commands also fixed it here.

@J Sanders: thanks for the tips! it worked for me too

But why do I have to install zeitgeist to run dbx?

[Matias Särs (msevens)]

Zeitgeist powers those nice "Recent", "Most used" and "Related" submenus when you right click. You won't get them by installing the version of zeitgeist that is in the lucid repository, you need the ppa version. It is a bug that you had to install zeitgeist. It is supposed to be optional and in x.0.39.6 it is again.

Hello,

after upgrading to 0.39.6.1-1 the issue is back.

Applying and installing the zeitgeist ppa did not solve the issue.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 x64bit

[DM-43568 (jb-2002)]

Same problem with x.0.39.7 and installed zeitgeist.
Ubuntu 10.04 x64bit.

[Matias Särs (msevens)]

Ok. Run DockbarX in window and report the error.

dockbarx_factory.py run-in-window
