gnome-panel crashes upon finding XML encoding problems in .recently used.
In particular, I had the following entry (created by OpenOffice.org):
<RecentItem>
<URI>file:///home/gervasi/REFSQ04/Reviews/06%20&%2022%20Rolland.doc</URI>
<Mime-Type>application/msword</Mime-Type>
<Timestamp>1080897663</Timestamp>
<Groups>
<Group>OpenOffice.org</Group>
</Groups>
</RecentItem>
As you can notice, the encoding of the file name "06 & 22 Rolland.doc" was
incorrect, in that the ampersand was not encoded as it should. However, it
is not acceptable that the panel crashes (in an endless loop, due to the
session manager re-launching it every time) just because an application or a
user has used an unusual file name. XML parsing errors at this stage should
be harmless -- at the worst, the offending entry should be dropped from
the recent files menu.
In my case, the problem was fixed by (manually) rewriting the entry as
follows:
<RecentItem>
<URI>file:///home/gervasi/REFSQ04/Reviews/06%20&%2022%20Rolland.doc</URI>
<Mime-Type>application/msword</Mime-Type>
<Timestamp>1080897663</Timestamp>
<Groups>
<Group>OpenOffice.org</Group>
</Groups>
</RecentItem>
Notice how & was encoded to & (whereas the previous &%2022 was an
illegal entity name).
Thanks for your excellent work,
-Vincenzo
