Details

Description: I got a segmentation fault (core dumped) each time I run gnote now, I tried gnote-git ; same problem. I tried to remove ~/.config/gnote and ~/.share/local/gnote and still got the same issue. :/

This may be linked to a library problem as I wasn't able to reproduce on a friend's "manjaro" computer using a arch gnote's tarball...

What window manager? Have you tried it in a different one?

>Window manager :
It's a xfce4 environment, so I guess we are talking about xfwm4.

>Tried it in a different one ?
Just tried on openbox and ratpoison, same crash at startup (of gnote, I mean). :(

I'm using a regular setup based on GNOME3 and starts fine. If I'm forced to guess, the reason are the client-side-decorations (CSD), which shouldn't be used on a window-manager which is not capable to use them.

0x00007ffff7b03ba3 in gnote::MainWindow::use_client_side_decorations() ()

XFCE 4.12 should be able to handle CSD:

Hm?

I tried to switch theme using lxappaearance, problem stills on.

I was unable to reproduce the problem on another archlinux PC even under xfce... :/

The bug was coming from the app itself. There is an easy workaround and the issue will be fixed soon.

It's not usable at the moment, and upstream had the opportunity to tag a new release and haven't, so here is the patch. Tested by building branch gnome-3-16.
I don't think it should be put on users to find this bug and then use the workaround until a new release comes out.
