I isolated this problem:
1. $ rm -rfv ~/.{local/share,config,cache}/gtg
2. $ sudo aptitude purge gtg
3. $ sudo aptitude install gtg
then the application starts and ends correctly.Initial state: only the plugin "Closed tasks removed" is enabled with default settings. step: 1. start gtg 2. menu "edit -> parameters" 3. tab "plugins" 4. select the plugin "Closed tasks removed" 5. click the button "Configure plugin" 6. set the flag "Delete tasks automatically" 7. click "ok" 8. close the dialog "parameters" 9. exit the application result: gtg hangs. if unset the flag "Delete tasks automatically", gtg correctly ends again. -- hangs at startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576901 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gtg contributors, which is subscribed to Getting Things GNOME!.
