Hello

Something went wrong when I reported this bug, so I could not find it again 
after reporting. Thus, I created a new bug report here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/leafpad/+bug/787995

This is should probably be marked a duplicate of #787995 (since #787995 
contains more information).
In the new bug report, I have attached strace and other relevant information.


Please read #787995, as it contains more details. I have isolated the
bug as being related to the selected gtk-theme. However, I am not sure
if the theme or the application(leafpad) is at fault. Since no other GTK
apps on my system crashes (Firefox, Thunderbird, Opera, OpenOffice,
et.al) I would guess leafpad is at fault.

I will answer your questions:
> "Crashes frequently"? How frequently? 

All the time. Frequently was an error, because I thought that it only
crashed sometimes, but after further investigation I noticed that it
actually crashed every time. --- although it did not crash some time in
the past. So something must have changed at some point that made it
crash all the time afterwards. Probably a package upgrade...

Yes it can. Steps are:
1: Start leafpad
2: It segfaults.


However, I noticed that this only happens when the following conditions are met:
1: GTK theme oxygen-gtk is selected
2: Leafpad is started from KDE.

Please note that I did not select this theme specifically. It is the default 
when using Kubuntu 11.04 and setting appearance settings as shown in this 
screenshot:

(these are quite normal settings)

I will remember that. However, sometimes ubuntu-bug seems to be a hassle
to use. Also, it is not clear to me what private/sensitive data ubuntu-
bug collects and publishes about my system, if any. Maybe this could be
improved in ubuntu-bug?
