So it must be a configuration problem, or other users would have the
same problem.
This is one of the first things I thought,
but, as mentioned in my original message,
I replaced MY configs with those of another user
(and chowned them to me), and this made no difference.
Yes, but you only did this on pcmanfm's configuration files, right? I
think the problem is not directly a pcmanfm's one, but maybe related to
something it uses. This is why I suggested you to move all config files.
Do something like that:
$ mkdir OLD_CONFIG
$ mv .* OLD_CONFIG
$ pcmanfm
Here, pcmanfm should work. If so, you can move back files one after one
until pcmanfm stop to work again, so that you could identify which file
is making problem.
So far, I'd only tried replacing the configs, not just simply making
then unavailable.
Making them unavailable will force the softwares to create the default
ones, so you will have the default config.
...
okay, moving the .config/pcmanfm contents to somewhere, thus leaving
the directory empty (no configs) seems to make no difference.
Obviously. The problem does not come from pcmanfm, from what I can
guess. pcmanfm not working is the consequence of the problem, not the
problem itself.
You need pcmanfm-dbg to have symbols, it might help. However, I have
never tried it myself.
I do have that installed.
Honestly, I tried to use the *dgb files. I had no results, I was never
able to understand their use.
It seems that it is better to compile the software with the -g option,
and debug the compiled version. At least, you will have the source code,
with comments, which makes things really easier, and you also might use
some IDE or a debugger with a real human usable interface. I do not say
that gdb is bad, but it needs learning. Lot of RTFM for even simple
debugging...
The debugger I use (which are, in fact, simple frontends to gdb) are
the plug-in of codeblocks, and cgdb (I know prefer this last one, except
that I still do not know how to interrupt a program, unlike in C::B.).
You can also use ddd, or the debugging feature in qtcreator, for
example. All of them uses gdb in background, but they are far easier to
use than gdb.
