DetailsDescription:
Many GTK apps crash when opening a file chooser and report the following in a terminal: GLib-GObject-ERROR **: g_type_plugin_*() invalidly modified type `GThemedIcon' Additional info: * Affected packages: glib2 2.16.3-1 from [core] * Affects all packages that use the standard GTK+ file chooser. Steps to reproduce: * Open any GNOME app and attempt to open/save a file. Randomly, the app will crash when the file chooser should appear. This is not very predictable but happens with evince, eye-of-gnome and firefox on my machine. Fix: A patch from the openSuse bugzilla is attached: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385128 |
This task depends upon

Its already been fixed upstream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537555 . Glib2 has already been updated for i686. Its just a matter of updating it for x86_64 which im sure JGC will do soon. IMO you had better flagged it out of date.

Cool. It would seem the package has already been flagged out of date.

It wasnt. I just did that after reading this report :)
