Comments
EVALUATION The crash happens under Industrial theme which has a bug. Look, they use an uninitialized variable (industrial_style.c:1624): } else if (DETAIL("trough") || DETAIL("menu") || DETAIL("dockitem_bin") || DETAIL("handlebox_bin") || DETAIL("toolbar") || DETAIL("dockitem") || WIDGET_TYPE_NAME("PanelAppletFrame")) { GdkGC *bg_gc = NULL; GdkGC *fg_gc; ... if (fill) { ... } draw_rounded_rect_one_pixel (window, bg_gc, fg_gc, corner_gc, area, x, y, width, height); If fill is FALSE, fg_gc is never initialized. That Industrial doesn't crash here means that this code is never called. Experiments with native apps show that they pass either "scrolled_window" or "frame" as the detail, and have another code path executed. We pass "handlebox_bin" which is probably wrong. Let's use "frame" instead. GtkFrame is a border similar to Swing's TitledBorder which seems appropriate for toolbar.
