Hello,
I confirm this bug.
I'm not a specialist but it seems it's a bug in libgconf (it's what gdb's
stacktrace says) and I guess this function is not "threat safe" because it
seems nautilus crashes at random but it's always due to this same function:
'gconf_client_get'
This is the backtrace produced by gdb:
#0 0x00007fffe65298be in gconf_client_get () from /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4
No symbol table info available.
#1 0x00007fffe6529db0 in gconf_client_get_bool ()
from /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4
No symbol table info available.
Nautilus-open-terminal uses this function a lot of time:
'gconf_client_get_bool'. I guess it's maybe better to call this function
at the init and to use a 'gconf-listener' after in order to know if this
function has changed.
In conclusion, the crash is due to this libgconf but I think
nautilus-open-terminal doesn't use this library correctly.
I've joined a debdiff just to fix the bug and minimise the changes (this is a
workaround) but I think it will be nice to fix this bug in libgconf and to
modify nautilus-open-terminal in order to use gconf-listeners or something else.
