[Secure-testing-team] Bug#547889: xfce4: launching panel-settings freezes the whole system!!!

[Per Blomqvist]

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.6.1.1
Severity: critical
Tags: security
Justification: causes serious data loss


Hi.

I left-click on the panel, to choose "panel-settings". AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM FREEZE. Only the mouse responds, everything else dies.

AND then when I reset  the computer (f2ck *****), and wanna see what whent wrong, the THING autostarts by it self (FREEZES THE WHOLE SYSTEM AGAIN).

I have no clew.. autostart configs logs maybe, big fuzz cloud. Im not a regular Xfce user (just wanted to try it, more or less). But I say this bug is Serious!

(thunar i okay though)

bye
