Thanks seb128 for the feedback. The monitor delay change does not appear to cause the invalid desktop entries - that appears to be the rest of the Ubuntu specific patchwork.
Just to reiterate - taking the current Debian Stretch package and rebuilding for Zesty. Absolutely no issues and no need for additional patches. With the current Ubuntu package. All current patches EXCEPT the monitor delay causes the invalid desktop entries. With the current Ubuntu package including the existing monitor delay patch causes both invalid desktop entries + random crashes i.e. the random errors such as this bug report. With the current Ubuntu package + our suggested 81-unref patch, we no longer see invalid desktop entries crashes but we occasionally see the random error crashes such as this bug report. With the current Ubuntu package + our suggested 81-unref patch + our revised monitor changes patch we no longer see desktop entries crashes and we no longer see random error crashes. These above are our observations - I don't particularly understand the patchwork ubuntu has - so I'm a bit reluctant to say categorically which of the other Ubuntu patches cause the invalid desktop entries crashes. I've discussed with upstream and we've tried several rework attempts with the budgie-desktop code itself to no joy - so we have concluded (rightly or wrongly) its not budgie-desktop per-se that is the issue - it seems to be gnome-menus and ubuntu's version that is the issue. --- FYI - for 17.04 Ubuntu Budgie is going to be using v10.2.9 of budgie- desktop and hence will be affected by the issues raised. For 17.10 Ubuntu Budgie is going to be using either v11 of v12 of budgie-desktop - here upstream have completely rewritten this area and the code-base no longer uses gnome-menus and thus we no longer need the the suggested patches described here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-menus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631745 Title: hostname-panel crashed with SIGSEGV in g_slice_alloc() Status in budgie-desktop: Fix Released Status in budgie-desktop package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-menus package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Testing in VirtualBox (xubuntu) Clean install of Release Candidate, updated and reboot.
