Bug#842367: removing gnome-session-failback solves the problem

[Cyrille Bollu]

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for the follow up.

Yes, I was talking about "gnome-session-fallback", sorry for confusion.

I have no idea either, but I'll just let you know my Debian originates from
a woody initial install which was always upgraded along the way and never
re-installed. So, it's quite an old-timer which exhibits strange behaviours
some times. Maybe, it's the root-cause of this segfault?...

Best regards,

Cyrille


PS: It looks like I merged bugs 842367 and 842366 incorrectly: All the info
appears in 842367 while only 842366 shows up in the list of bug affecting
gnome-session-flashback.
