#2898: Pidgin creates incorrect prefs.xml, segfaults on next startup
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: Kalex | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: minor
Component: pidgin (gtk) | Version: 2.1.1
Keywords: crash segfault startup prefs.xml | Pending: 0
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
I've compiled Pidgin 2.11 on Kubuntu 7.04 yesterday, and immediatelly
begun to experience the following problem:
On startup, Pidgin segfaults for an unknown reason. After deleting
prefs.xml, it runs correctly. I've traced the problem to the following
line in prefs.xml:
{{{
<pref name='last_icon_folder' type='path' value=''/>
}}}
Sometimes Pidgin writes the line like this:
{{{
<pref name='last_icon_folder' type='path'/>
}}}
Which causes it to crash on next startup. This doesn't hapen all the time
however.
I'm not sure what kind of icons is Pidgin looking for in that unspecified
folder.
