Package: gpodder Version: 3.11.3-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Recently, gPodder started crashing on startup. After finding that renaming the ~/gPodder/ directory didn't help, but running gPodder under a different user did, I commented out lines in my .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to narrow down the problem until I discovered that removing appmenu-gtk-module from my gtk-modules line allowed gPodder to start normally. This crash only started happening fairly recently, and I have not discovered what change has caused this. I have tried downgrading to the previous version of appmenu-gtk-module, and this did not resolve the problem. (In any case, I am reasonably sure that the problam started more recently than that upgrade.) As such, I think it is quite likely that I'm not reporting this bug on the correct package. Nevertheless, I'm reporting it on the application where I noticed it, in the hope that somebody can point me in the right direction. Steps to reproduce: # apt install appmenu-gtk3-module $ GTK3_MODULES=appmenu-gtk-module gpodder gPodder immediately exits with a segmentation fault, without producing a window. Note that I originally had "gtk-modules=appmenu-gtk-module" in my settings.ini, and so had this crash without setting an environment variable. I include the var for ease of reproduction. It is not necessary to actually have a global menu; just enabling the module seems to be sufficient to trigger the segfault. There is something that I do not understand about gPodder - it appears to have some support for global menus when the module is not enabled (or even installed). I do not know how this works. Additionally, when running without the module, the gPodder menu appears within the application window, while the Podcasts, Subscriptions, Episodes, Extra and View menus are correctly displayed as global menus. I checked some other GTK3 applications on my system, and found one other strange result: Inkscape also supports global menus with the module disabled, and also crashes with it enabled. I believe Inkscape also worked in this configuration in the past, but it's been a lot longer since I last tried to use it than it has been with gPodder. However, qalculate-gtk, audacious in "GTK (legacy) mode", qemu, guvcview and virt-manager all have no global menu support without the module, and work fine *with* the module, so just disabling the module globally is not a good workaround.
