Comment 70 for bug 1782984

Walter: occasionally even Leafpad would crash, although I do not have a log of those rare events. But now I have another GTK file manager that locks-up on me in similar way. I've been trying the OpenBox variant of Porteus which comes with SpaceFM. We've pulled out a latest alpha of SpaceFM. It crashes too, albeit less frequently than PCManFM. The developer of SpaceFM apparently is trying to fix multithreading bugs, see https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm/commits/alpha : "conservative lock", "mutex", "non-thread-safe", "thread races" coming from within GTK functions (!?) Perhaps IgnorantGuru could tell us if there is a problem with GTK multithreading. I haven't found yet if SpaceFM logs any errors. It freezes. It's another GTK application. Therefore I will be moving to a non GTK distribution. I will continue to monitor this thread though for updates.
