Details

Description:
Any GTK application will segfault if you are running Plasma with a 'Global Menu' applet (window button or panel applet) with appmenu-gtk-module installed.

A possible reason for this fail is that the GTK application tries to find a number of files in a wrong location. Just strace chromium/gnucash to see what fails:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/ro_RO.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/ro_RO.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/ro_RO/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/ro.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/ro.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
The installed location for that file is a bit different, like:
/usr/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/atk10.mo

Additional info:
* package version: appmenu-gtk-module-0.6.94-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Plasma installed with either a 'Global Menu' Window Button of Panned Applet.
2. appmenu-gtk-module installed to display GTK menu inside the 'Global Menu' Applet.
3. Open any GTK apps like GnuCash, Firefox, Chromium

Please post backtraces, strace output is totally irrelevant.

Will do as soon as my mirrors will be synced. Thanks for looking into this issue.

Still reproduces with appmenu-gtk-module-0.7.1-1. The backtrace is identical.

Then please rebuild appmenu-gtk-module with debug symbols to get a meaningful backtrace and report it upstream to https://gitlab.com/vala-panel-project/vala-panel-appmenu/

A ticket was created upstream and a workaround was found for this issue. This being considered, I believe that the Arch ticket can be closed.
