As a side note, python-hildon suffered from these issues because the latest hildon-home (or hildon-desktop?) versions seemed to incorporate some gtype registration functions which were missing before (i.e. ones usually generated by glib-mkenums). The python bindings tried to register the same types again, which caused problems (the errors shown on console gave a hint about this). The fix consisted on not running glib-mkenums for hildon types. Maybe not related to this problem, but anyway. >> Any hints on how best to debug this hildon-home crash? > > It could help to disable all other plugins than the one that you are > debugging and using gdb or good old printfs I guess. I usually also debug on scratchbox/x86 , where I can kill hildon-home and restart it again with hildon-home & which then shows debug messages on the console.
