[Bug 411358]

2014-01-24 Thread Jon-mozillabugzilla
It's been quite a while since I've looked at this bug as I no longer hit it myself due to using a new linux distro with a full GIO implementation, plus I no longer regularly receive the kind of emails which trigger this... Please read back to comments 67 through to 70 ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.or

I've just recompiled using the unpatched TB 16.0b4 with --disable-gio and I get no errors at all (not via stdout nor popup).. Therefore I'm recompiling now with --enable-gvfs set explicitly to see if that makes a difference. My expectation is that the unpatched source will produce the GConf error

I'm afraid that I've tested this patch against 16.0b4 and it does not resolve the issue on Ubuntu 10.04 which is exactly what I expected, having previously spent a lot of time tracing this stuff to establish where the popup dialog comes from. I honestly don't see how anyone gets a popup with the e

Curses! The SVN folks have foiled my plan! :-D I currently work for a very large global corporation who can be extremely anal about standards compliance (although usually with the best intentions). So, I'm approaching the Thunderbird team here with an open mind that someone may wish to fight to th

I think this is all a bit dependent on the version of GNOME is in use. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS which still uses GNOME 2.30.2 Looking at the git master for GVFS the latest code no longer appears to have any reliance on gconf. I guess that the GIO implementation in GNOME 2.30.2 is somewhat t

Okay - I've confirmed my theory: I've built a couple of alternative versions of the libgiogconf.so module. All my edits/tests were made to gapplookupgconf.c in the function get_default_for_uri_scheme(): My first test was to call gconf_client_set_error_handling(client, GCONF_CLIENT_HANDLE_NONE)

I'm pretty certain that my research has shown that this problem is actually a result of Thunderbird built with support for GIO (disabled by default and not enabled in the mozilla release builds) This is kind of the opposite to comment #19 ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541130#c19 )

I've been doing a load of additional research on this bug because it's causing me daily annoyance... In response to Sandy Knight: This issue will not corrupt your profile. I've hooked up gdb to thunderbird and in combination with the source code and a bit of a crash course in reading c++ I feel I
