Please report this problem to upstream with a proper trace:

Suggestion on the trace generation?
Is the `coredumpctl` stack trace enough?
Comment by Balló György (City-busz) - Friday, 20 March 2020, 18:12 GMT
Maybe, but if you see something like this: '?? ()', then you have to rebuild something with debugging info.

You can see more details here:

Done: https://sourceforge.net/p/lxde/bugs/933/

In case they ask me the stack trace, I will oblige :)

why is this ticket closed? - the bug is still present - a bug report should not be considered as resolved, unless the bug is fixed, or the package is removed from the repos

thanks - there are two patches on the upstream mailing list - i expect that both of these patches will be upstream in the next release, or the root cause may be fixed by then; but that may take some time - it may be a good idea to apply them in arch now

'gtk3-theme-preview-segfault.patch' allow the program to function properly

'gtk3-theme-preview-hide.patch' applies the sed command in the arch PKGBUILD to the upstream sources directly - this would allow the 'lxappearance-obconf-gtk3' PKGBUILD to be merged with 'lxappearance-obconf' as a split package

sry, i should have been more explicit - i forgot this bug report was against 'lxappearance-gtk3'

the bug is in 'lxappearance-obconf-gtk3' - 'lxappearance-gtk3' works properly if 'lxappearance-obconf-gtk3' is not installed - the patches are against the lxappearance-obconf v0.2.3 source code
