gconf-editor crashed with SIGSEGV in gconf_value_copy()

[Tina Russell]

Binary package hint: gconf-editor

Hmmm, this is weird. Here’s how I’m able to reproduce this crash (though, it’s quite possible other keys will work):

1) Start the Gconf editor.
2) Go to “/apps/gnome-power-manager.”
3) Go to “buttons.” Change an item. Change it back, if you want.
4) Select “general.”
5) While the keys from “general” are loading, or after, double-click “buttons.” (I think I originally did this out of misguided impatience.)
6) Crash-ola.

Try this a couple of times with a couple of different variations if you don’t get the crash. (Of course, it may just be my setup.) I’ve included a backtrace!
