I will never fade.
since nobody is helping me i'm trying to find a solution by myself
where are the user configuration files? I mean, a directory like /home/user/.globalmenu ...maybe deleting it could help
thanx
EDIT: emesene works with globalmenu version 0.7.5

Hi,
This is a fantastic project and im glad to see it going so well.
Unfortunately I've stumbled on a critical problem the global menu causes. Its started happening about a month ago.
Basically it can randomly crash applications when opening a new window. For example:
- Eye of gnome (image viewer) crashes after openeing a few pictures. Could vary from 3 to 10.
- Evolution can crash at anytime i open a new message window.
- Nautilus could crash at anytime i open a browser window. I say roughly 1 in 10 times it will crash.
- Gimp often fails to start 2 out of 3 times.
And lots of others.
All these were solved when i disable global menu.
Crash logs usually gives this message (but replace evolution with other pragram names):
When opening programs in terminal I always get this message when closing the application:Code:evolution[3924]: segfault at 412e860 ip 00007ff3192f2379 sp 00007fff2d8a6420 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.2000.1[7ff3192e3000+44000]
Code:(eog:8397): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed
As i said all these problems and errors totally dissapear if i disable global menu and its reproducable everytime so without a doubt its global menu. Ive seen a few of these issues on the forums lately all with the same libgobject-2.0.so in their error message. I wonder if they all use global menu.
Is there anywhere you would like me to post this info? Or any other info that would help the developers? Or better yet has this happened before and a solution given?
Keep up the good work.
ok submitted the problem there.
thanks. I hope will see it in the next release 9.10
Hi i wrote my diploma about it: http://www.rossbacher-f.de
I see the same symptoms and error messages as Psyphre when using global menu on Jaunty 64, although most of my segfaults occur when launching nautilus or evolution. Firefox 3.5 is unstartable - it segfaults every time - so I've ditched it in favour of epiphany. It segfaults too, but much less often.
I really like global menu though, so I did a little fiddling and it seems that disabling multithreading with a 'nosmp' kernel boot parameter is a quick and dirty workaround. Very far from ideal, as this seems to leave me with only one processor core doing any work, but it stops the segfaults as far as I can tell. There's a disable-multiprocessors setting in my bios that has the same effect.
I also tried bonding the process affinity to one core to see if that helped. Without using nosmp, I killed nautilus at startup then manually relaunched using 'taskset 1 nautilus &' to bond it to the first core. So far it still gives me the GLib-GObject-CRITICAL errors, but no segfaults. Can someone try this with firefox3.5 to see if it works?
EDIT: Nope that doesn't work...
I do hope the global menu devs can sort this one.
