Re: built 2.10.0.1 - gnome-panel keeps crashing

[Hugo <Hugo Carvalho synopsys com>]

hi,

I tried building libwnck with "-Wl,--export-dynamic" and many apps that 
were crashing at startup (gnome-control-center, nautilus) don't crash 
anymore. But I also was more careful in setting up the build 
environment, so that might have contributed too.

As for gnome-panel... it keeps crashing. :(

which is kind of fustrating since the build
went without any problems (i just had to add libexif);
gnome starts nice and pretty;
I can even launch gnome-terminal, nautilus, gedit, firefox, 
control-center, etc

just the panel keeps crashing. apparently the applets keep working.

Is there a way to find out what's going on without debugging the panel?

Thanks!

hugo
