Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wallpaper-tray
Choose Configuration menu item, remove all current wallpaper
directories, add a single new wallpaper directory. It has 3-4
subdirectories, and thousands of images inside them. wallpaper-tray
will crash with something like:
*** glibc detected *** wallpaper-tray: free(): invalid next size
(fast): 0x08258940 ***
probably 9 times out of 10. Oddly, 1 time out of 10 or so, it works
just fine, and happily changes wallpapers indefinitely. (I have them
changing every 5 minutes.) So I just start it, and try to add the
problematic directory over and over again, until it finally doesn't
crash.
This is on Ubuntu 8.04.
