I have seen the same or similar postings all on Ubuntu or a derivative. Some have implied that it was a known bug with Ubuntu 11.10. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Geany 0.20, libdbusmenu-gtk4, libdbusmenu-gtk3-4, libdbusmenu-gtk-dev, libdbusmenu-gtk3-dev, Ubuntu 11.10
Someone else on the web was having the same problems using Lotus Notes, same error msg.

I think this is due to a missing NULL guard. The GTK+ docs say it's OK to gtk_menu_item_set_submenu(item, NULL) to remove the submenu, and I think Geany does this when reparenting the New with Templates menu item.

I've attached a patch that shows what I mean (against distro package source since current head wouldn't build here).

Oops, I didn't notice the word "crash" in the bug title :)

The problem the patch addresses is just to clear up that console spam, which should be harmless.
