Public bug reported:
Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
We've stepped into a critical problem for the gnome desktop. Gnome-panel
keeps on crashing if the user opened a folder with a name containing the
'&' symbol in its name so that it is written in the file ~/.recently-
used.
The folder was created by a linux user (running Ubuntu Hoary 5.10) on a
nfs share in our network. The cause could be related to a text encoding
issue but gnome-panel could send a warning instead of crashing and
setting the desktop in a totally unusable state.
In the file ~/.xsession-errors this issue was tracked
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1 - Create a folder eith name 'Folder & Crash'
2 - Copy a file in that folder (we used an OOo file)
3 - Open the file with proper application
