I am using xfdesktop-4.3.90.2 on solaris x86. I get a SEGV when I start
xfdesktop

Reading libscf.so.1
Reading libuutil.so.1
Reading libresolv.so.2
Reading libexpat.so.0.5.0
Reading libXrandr.so.2
Reading xfce4_desktop_menu.so

I have the core file, and this is easily reproduce able.

Not really sure what to do about this.  xfdesktop itself isn't threaded.  Perhaps it has something to do with a library it links to, like maybe thunar-vfs...?
Comment 2 Neelakanth Nadgir 2006-08-18 22:07:03 CEST
I configured with  --disable-thunar-vfs and the problem goes away.
Comment 3 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2006-08-19 10:43:27 CEST
Looks like a bug in gthread on Solaris/x86. Dunno.
Comment 4 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2009-08-22 10:00:46 CEST
Either fixed, or a gthread platform bug... either way, can't fix it here.

Bug #2180
