[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#361365: Your xfce4-mixer bug

Hi Simon!  Hi Wolfgang!

I'm able to reproduce this bug on my iBook with:
alex at vinyamar:~$ dpkg -l|grep xfce4-mixer
ii  xfce4-mixer                               4.2.3-2                   Xfce4 Mixer frontend
ii  xfce4-mixer-alsa                          4.2.3-2                   Xfce4 Mixer ALSA backend


Interesting:  I configured my panel to include the mixe plugin while
starting, and everything seemed to work fine.  the panel started up, it
showed the plugin, clicking on the icon opened the mixer.

However when I removed the mixer from the panel and tried to add it
back, the panel crashed, as Wolfang described it.  Strace output looks
similar to his.

However:  I'm unable to reproduce this bug on my workstation (which uses
386 architecture and the 4.3.90.1-2 packages).

Wolfgang, could you please try to upgrade to the new packages and
report, if you can still reproduce the bug with the 4.3x packages?


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
