theme manager: segfault when accidently choosing cursor theme on icon tab

[Scott Severance]

When choosing an icon theme in gnome-theme-manager, cursor themes are displayed in the list. Clicking one causes gnome-theme-manager to segfault and brings down the GNOME session (sometimes leaving only the wallpaper visible). I know that gnome-panel and nautilus both crash, and I'm unsure what else crashes.

When logging in, GNOME hangs at the splash screen. I can't get back to normal until I log in to a failsafe terminal session and run gnome-theme-manager from there.

EDIT: This occurrs in Edgy; don't know about Feisty.

I've had this happen a bunch of times. The cursor themes and the icon themes have similar enough names that I've clicked on the wrong one many times and constantly experience a crash.

Very Annoying!

There is an upstream bug ope about this.

Note: The upstream bug itself doesn't mention a crash, but the dupes do.

There is some similar crash which has been fixed for feisty, could you try with it?

[Scott Severance (scott.severance)]

I'll try to remember once I upgrade. It'll be a bit before I have the time to upgrade, though.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Did you upgrade already?

[Scott Severance (scott.severance)]

I've tested it with the Feisty live CD and my buggy half-functioning upgrade and haven't experienced any crashes. Apparently the other fix worked.

However, it would be nice if something could be done about cursor themes showing up in the theme manager in the first place. But that's an upstream issue, isn't it?

[Scott Severance (scott.severance)]

I just tested this with a regular install of Feisty and didn't get any crashes.

marking the bug fixed then
