Bug#370671: [Fwd: Re: Can you repro with XOrg 7?]
One thing you could try (don't know if it will help) is to: 1. Start GNOME without the problematic panel applet enabled. 2. From a text console (try ctrl-alt-f1 for instance), start the problematic applet inside of ltrace (apt-get install ltrace). Send the ltrace output to some file. Point 2 might require some experimentation to find out what command line parameters you need to use to actually be able to start your applet from the command line like that. It's definitely doable, I unforturnatly don't know what's required though. Check /proc/thePIDofSomeOtherApplet/cmdline for hints, or ask somebody who knows something about how panel applets work (I don't...). Don't forget that you might have to set your DISPLAY environment variable before trying this from the console. With a bit of luck, one of the last library calls in the ltrace log file is the call that crashes X. And if X crashes, this bug is probably in X, not in the GNOME panel. But since the GNOME panel is what triggers it, the GNOME panel is probably a good place to start looking.

My version is: ii xorg 7.0.20 X.Org X Window System [...] Anything I can do to help tracking this ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Thanks Johan, I'll see what I can do. I note, however, that the latest version of gnome-applets is ready to go into testing (as indicated on the web page http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=gnome-applets), except for this release-critical bug. Since the bug was filled against the version in testing, this should not prevent the new version to migrate. I don't know if version tracking or any tagging can already help telling britney about this fact; does anyone know, or should the release-team be asked about it (provided that the maintainer is ok with the idea) ?

So, in both cases, there is no objection for the migration (the first case is "best case", the second case is status quo), if I understand well ?

To be honest, I avoided commenting the "still broken" case, since I really don't know :-). Asking those who make the decisions as you suggested earlier sounds like a good idea to me!
