After reading the information in the bug report which was collected by apport, I have determined that the segfault was not caused by chromium or gtk, but instead by a gtk plugin which I had installed, imhangul which is used for entering Korean characters (hangul) in gtk applications. Removing the imhangul libraries solved the problem.
I am moving the bug to imhangul since I am fairly sure that was causing the issue all along. Also, the other bug that I wrote against gtk-2.0 (#941797) should be marked as a duplicate of this one, since this one has far more useful information. Sorry about writing duplicate bugs.... Steps to reproduce: 1. Install chromium-browser 2. Install imhangul-gtk2 3. Run chromium-browser from either the menu or command line 4. If chromium-browser starts correctly, clicking in the address bar will cause the segfault here is the other bug I wrote : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/941797 ** Visibility changed to: Public -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945791 Title: chromium-browser crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_screen_get_root_window() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/945791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
