Hi, it is been a long time since I cared about this bug, but the last comment made me investigate again.
For all I can say now: The bug does not occur anymore on my machine with my glipper version. I think it extremely likely that this is indeed a race condition as many others already pointed out. The lacking of my glipper crashing almost proves it. I changed the import order of these gnome, gtk and glipper libraries and thus avoided the crash: gobject gtk gnome gnomeapplet glipper glipper.defs glipper.Applet I provided a try-except-block for each import with according logging. As I said, I experience no crashes anymore, so this might be a solution. I will attach my changed glipper script.
