~/screenlets/config.ini is regarded as an applet

[Peter Ward]

screenlets-daemon does not perform any kind of sanity checking when generating it's menu of available applets.
This results in the file ~/.screenlets/config.ini being reported as an applet.

I've attached the following (untested) patch, which should solve the problem.

That first patch is all wrong.
I've attached a better solution. (i.e.: one that works!)

Unfortunately, I'm getting a "*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x085fd6c8 ***" error when I have universal-applets-extras installed.
I think it's related to my system, but I don't know what part of my system to try and fix!
Does anyone have any idea about this glibc error?
I'm running Debian Sid (+ various PPAs + a few Debian experimental packages), Python 2.5.2 [GCC 4.3.1] (r252:60911, Aug 8 2008, 09:22:44).

I can confirm this bug, and I remember reporting it somewhere a while back.

[Natan Yellin (aantny)]

Thanks, that works.

We have a policy of mentioning all patch contributors in the commit log. What name would you like me to use?

[Peter Ward (flowblok)]

Use flowblok as the name, thanks Natan.

The glibc error has turned out to be a bug with universal-applets-extras, so I'll isolate it and report it as a separate bug later (probably tomorrow).

[Natan Yellin (aantny)]

Fix committed in revision 504.

[Natan Yellin (aantny)]

It's strange that you're getting a glibc error when all of the applets in extras are written using python.

Perhaps it's a bug in python itself, or in one of the C libraries that UA uses.

A note for anyone who was wondering what the error was - it the svg icon in the DiskSpace applet which was crashing libxml2 and then librsvg. Upgrading my libxml2 fixed the problem.

[Natan Yellin (aantny)]

Thanks. That makes more sense.
