Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdesklets
I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and until about 2 weeks ago, gdesklets has worked fine for me through out Feisty and Gutsy (until recently). I can run the daemon without any trouble. It starts up and shows up in the tray like normal. Right-clicking and choosing to manage desklets works fine (providing no desklets are currently in use), bringing up the manager and allowing me to choose a desklet. It's not until you either try to add a desklet OR if you login to a profile that includes one or more desklets already that it crashes. Therefore, please do not mark this as a duplicate of bug 83922: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdesklets/+bug/83922 This is not related to the AMD64 problem... I'm running the generic kernel... this PC is an Intel Celeron. It's not AMD, nor is it 64 bit. Also, I've tried everything including a full build (with the debs fully purged first). Here's more or less what I see... I'm running with debugging enabled (from my own build): Launching gdesklets: $ gdesklets ***MEMORY-WARNING***: [1438]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...

Connected to daemon in 800 milliseconds. It comes up after this in my tray. Next I bring up the manager and attempt to add a desklet to my desktop: ***MEMORY-WARNING***: [1448]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon... ./Shell/__init__.py:153: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.threads_init is deprecated, use gtk.gdk.threads_init instead gtk.threads_init() Connected to daemon in 313 microseconds.
