Title:
emerald crashed with SIGSEGV in main_arena()
Status in “emerald” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: emerald
I was scrolling through the xorg logfile using less in the gnome-
terminal when emerald abruptly died (though I don't believe the two
are related; emerald has died several times before with no apparent
rhyme or reason; the only reason I hadn't reported the bug previously
was because the debugging symbols for emerald were not complete so the
backtrace was useless)
I am using the 'Blueray' v0.3 theme. Modifications I've made via
Emerald themer 0.5.2 are: change the window shadows to a more cyan-ish
color, change the titlebar text font to 'Swift' 12 point (I am
uncertain what package this font is part of if it is not part of a
default installation). I believe emerald died unpredictably before
these alterations and with other themes as well, however.
Windows open at the time:
Firefox 3b3, one gnome-terminal, evolution mail, pidgin
