Public bug reported: Running up to date natty (11.04, last update Tue Dec 14 17:30)
All gtk2.0 and many Qt apps crash in gtkicontheme due to an uninitialized parameter (theme_name). This currently makes it impossible to log in through X since the gdm greeter also crashes. When logging in using startx and a non-gtk based session - a plain xterm or a non-gtk dependent window manager like Xmonad - any application which directly or indirectly uses the gtk theme engine crashes. This includes Qt apps which use the gtk theme engine. A sample trace looks like this, created using gcalctool but it could have been made using any application which uses gtk or the gtk theme engine: -----------------------8<------------------------ fr...@ostrogoth:~$ gdb gcalctool GNU gdb (GDB) 7.2-ubuntu Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
