Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04

zim:
  Installed: 0.54-1
  Candidate: 0.54-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.54-1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

This happened when Ubuntu 12.04 tried to open zim upon login. This seems to happen when the desktop is trying to restore applications that had been open before (for example) a reboot.

Thanks.

Not sure how the restore works but I do know how zim works.

Zim has a daemon process, which controls a number of child processes
through a pipe. The stack trace shows an error in the daemon process
when writing to a pipe. Suggests the child process died without
letting the daemon know by sending SIGCHILD.

I had problem with zim running on Ubuntu Precise. I tried with the latest version (0.54) in the ubuntu official repository. The same problem occur in the latest stable version 0.56.

Trayicon plugin causes crash too.
