[Bug] Taskbar completly freezes + thousands messages in systemd

[Mai-Lapyst]

Description

The taskbar seemingly randomly dies / freezes.

Here are also some snippets from systemd it repeats over and over after the freeze:

Espc the last (gtk_container_remove) is repeated in such frequencies that it litterally grows my syslog so fast it can't keep up at times.

Budgie version

10.8-1

Operating System

Arch Linux

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Boot
2. Do something
3. Taskbar freezes and thousands of errros in the syslog

Actual result

Taskbar is frozen and unusable + syslog is spammed with errors.

Expected result

Taskbar being usable + syslog not being flooded.

Additional information

No response

[serebit]

The first logs are from budgie-extras, so uninstall that and see if it helps. Second is from an application that registers a tray icon—see if you can figure out which one.

Ok after some testing of various applications it seems that mainly PSI is responsible for the freeze; I use 1.5-3 (most recent arch offers) if that helps.

[serebit]

Installed psi from the Arch repositories, and it doesn't seem to be causing any issues with the panel. I am seeing the log spam, though, specifically this line:

Aug 31 11:14:08 hawking budgie-panel[1031]: gtk_box_pack: assertion '_gtk_widget_get_parent (child) == NULL' failed

Are you sure it's PSI that's causing the freeze? If so, I'll need to figure out how to set up an account.

[serebit]

Now that #438 has been merged, can you please install budgie-desktop-git from the AUR, relog, and see if this is still happening?

Going to close as completed due to lack of response. Please comment here if you see this and are still seeing the issue.

@serebit Can confirm that with the newest version (10.8.2-1) this seems to be fixed.
