** Description changed:
- The latest source was crashing with:
+ The version of Glipper shipped in precise (2.3-1) contains a serious bug
+ (LP: #904367) which causes glipper to crash repeatedly, often at
+ startup. A simple fix was applied to the 2.4 branch and backported to
+ the 2.3-3 package in Debian. Can a SRU be started so that we can get
+ glipper 2.3-3 into Precise? This is not necessary for Quantal which
+ ships with 2.4-1 and already includes the patch.

+ [Impact]
- The attached patch seems to prevent crashing, though I'm still trying to
- pin down an issue which occurs after clearing the history, or launching
- with no history, wherein the first clip change always pushes ctrl_c_item
- to the history, regardless of which clipboard was used.
+ * Glipper often crashes the first time the clipboard changes after
+ launch with an error:

+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Launch Glipper in an X session with no clipboard history (e.g., in a
+ new `vncserver`) and copy some text to the clipboard. Glipper should not
+ crash.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * Very low. The modified bit of code is very small and well-tested at
+ this point (since it has been in wheezy for several months).
