Description:

nitrogen crashes when applying new wallpaper. killing has no effect on the program window.

I'm running Openbox standalone with all the latest packages (Xorg 7.3/fglrx). pypanel, tint and conky are also running on the desktop.


When I execute:

$ nitrogen /home/thayer/media/graphics/wallpaper/

It results in the following console output when any wallpaper is applied:

(nitrogen:8935): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_list_store_get_value: assertion `VALID_ITER (iter, list_store)' failed

(nitrogen:8935): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_string: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_STRING (value)' failed

(nitrogen:8935): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_unset: assertion `G_IS_VALUE (value)' failed

I can confirm the same problem in my machine. I'm using a nvidia driver, though. Conky and pypanel are here too.

Error message (taken from a terminal):

Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x81ae780)" of type `GString'

(nitrogen:10162): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_list_store_get_value: assertion `VALID_ITER (iter, list_store)' failed

(nitrogen:10162): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_string: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_STRING (value)' failed

(nitrogen:10162): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_unset: assertion `G_IS_VALUE (value)' failed

The program 'nitrogen' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 7856 error_code 2 request_code 113 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Fixed in nitrogen 1.1. Now to wait for someone to update the package!
