as additional information (may be it would be useful): during my 2 previous gnome-panel-screenshot sessions in gdb, in order to attempt to reproduce the crash, I switched my window from the gdb terminal to other graphics window i.e. evolution. I mean: 1 - I launched gnome-panel-screenshot (run), 2 - ALT-TAB on evolution (for example) 3 - gnome-panel-screenshot appears above the evolution window 4 - I clicked "Save" 5 - then, either the crash occurs or not (but capture file is created). 6 - ALT-TAB to the gdb session in terminal. 7 - goto 1 above
This time, I wanted to see what appened if I did not ALT-TAB to another window: Therefore in gdb I ran 20 times gnome-panel-screenshot without ALT-TABing to another window: I could not crash gnome-panel-screenshot: may be if I continued more tries it would have crashed, I don't know. Then I did 7 additional runs with ALT-TABing as described above: gnome- panel-screenshot crashed on the 7th. Anyway, here is a more complete trace with I more debugging symbols. Before doing the runs, I installed - libc6-dbg - libglib2.0-0-dbgsym - libgnomevfs2-0-dbg ** Attachment added: "gnome-panel-screenshot GDB TRACE 3" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6341626/gnome-panel-screenshot%20GDB%20TRACE%203 -- gnome-screenshot in Edgy crashes... but still works https://launchpad.net/bugs/76193 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
