I was initially skeptical of the changes that had been made to this bug (the "crash after theme change" when I am certain that I was not changing the theme, a different upstream product (Epiphany) to the one I was seeing the problem in (Firefox)).
The upstream bug has a comment ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353503#c28 ) saying this: "#20 0xb79e0a81 in reset_styles_idle (user_data=0x817fa08) at gtkicontheme.c:602 This indicates an icon theme change. That could be triggered by a theme change, but also by a run of gtk-update-icon-cache (by installing a program or updating with apt-get), or by installing or uninstalling a theme engine, or by a crash of gnome-settings-daemon." My backtrace contains a very similar call so yup, it looks like this is the problem. However I have checked my logs and I case where this happened and no packages had been updated, nor any themes installed. This suggests we in fact have two problems: 1. Firefox can't cope with a theme change after showing the totem plugin. 2. Something is crashing gnome-settings-daemon/spuriously sending out icon cache updates when none have happened. I have 100% reproducible steps for 1 which I will attach. -- crash after theme change [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://launchpad.net/bugs/74576 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
