Description:
New GLib2 (and related packages like gvfs, glib-networming, glibmm, libsoup) causes serious problems in some GTK-based applications, sometimes SLIM eats a full core of CPU, sometimes some software crashes and disappears from system tray, sometimes SLIM simply restarts while writing into dmesg, that xfce-session segfaulted. In addition, compiz's fusion-icon never appears on the system tray. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1264473 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161818 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161900 Additional info: * package version(s) glib2-2.36.1-1-x86_64 glibmm-2.36.0-1-x86_64 glibmm-2.36.0-1-x86_64 Downgrading all of them to the 2.34 versions solve every problem * config and/or log files etc. xfce4-session[451]: segfault at ffffffff00000000 ip 00007f9802f24537 sp 00007fffb8eeba50 error 5 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.1[7f9802ec1000+fc000] Steps to reproduce: Install new glib2 and start an XFCE session in SLIM, use it for a day maximum, but sometimes minutes are enough. Sometimes everything looks fine for a short time, but the logout/shutdown/reboot doesn't work properly even after a minute. |

Reverting glib2 to 2.34.3-1 fix the problem
I use lxdm + xfce
According to the xfce bugtracker (comment 23), the two most recent commits contain the fix:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9709#c23
Let us know if the crashes are gone.
I'm upgrading xfce4-session and glib2 now, I'll update with a result.
EDIT: Seems stable for me.
I've upgraded to xfce4-session 4.10.0-7 from extra this morning (and glib2 is still 2.36.1-3). There have been no crashes throughout the day, so for me, this issue seems resolved.
