Bug#257896: gnome-network: gnome-remote-desktop broken

Package: gnome-network
Version: 1.99.5-2
Severity: important


When I try to use gnome-remote-desktop to connect to a VNC server all I
get when I click on "Connect" is the message "on_btnConnect1_clicked" on
the tty. The application than exits.

When I click on the "Profile Launcher" drop down box I get:

<snip>
(gnome-remote-desktop:8968): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmenu.c: line 1235
(gtk_menu_popup): assertion `GTK_IS_MENU (menu)' failed

(gnome-remote-desktop:8968): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmenu.c: line 1470
(gtk_menu_get_active): assertion `GTK_IS_MENU (menu)' failed
</snip>
And nothing else happens.

When I click on "More" and try to save a profile with "Save As" I get
"free(): invalid pointer 0x407363c0".

When I click on "Help" I get an about box.

It is funny that the protocol selection drop down box is grayed out (at
least for RDP, which is the default). At best this is misleading.
Perhaps the options that are unavailable should be removed from the drop
down completely?

Are you sure that this software is ready to be part of Debian? It looks
very pre-alpha to me.
