Hello Nico, It's actually not a GNOME Split bug. When you use this:
mkdir ~/.recently-used.xbel You are creating a directory right? But ".recently-used.xbel" *must* be a file (not a directory). Also, if you use : touch ~/.recently-used.xbel The file will be empty and GNOME Split will crash too. To avoid this, you can just remove the file : rm ~/.recently-used.xbel* And then GNOME Split will start. As I already said, it is not a GNOME Split bug. But, it can be a java-gnome bug or even a glib / gtk bug (but I don't think so). So, I will report it as a java-gnome bug and will see how will it go. -- gsplit don't start if recent documents are disabilited https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531959 You received this bug notification because you are a member of GNOME Split developers, which is subscribed to GNOME Split.
