As noted in my previous mail, the patch included in it fixes the segfault. However, running mayavi2 produces the following gtk warning which might be relevant:
(python:16054): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_colormap: assertion `!GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED (widget)' failed Putting debug printfs around the line scene = DecoratedScene(parent) In the patch, shows that the gtk warning is triggered by that line. I think the segfault is caused by the same bug that produces this gtk warning, since the warning is about such a 'twiddling a widget that is not fully initialized' situation. I assume the warning itself is reproducible for others, since it is mentioned in debian bug no. 478844 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=478844) Daniel Abel [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
