xapp-sn-watcher crashes on Cinnamon with glib2 version 2.76.0 #165

Closed NoXPhasma closed 1 year ago

Distribution: Arch Linux xapp version: 2.4.2 Cinnamon version: 5.6.7

Since the update to glib2 version 2.76.0 on Arch Linux, xapp-sn-watcher crashes with a segmentation fault when I click on the icon of specific applications (Discord, Gajim), which offer a menu, in the Xapp Status Applet. Downgrading glib2 to 2.74.6 fixes the issue.

Same here. Occasionally when I click a tray icon they'll disappear and reappear a couple times, then will be functional Segmentation faults for xapp-sn-watcher regarding libgdk-3.so.0.2405.32 in dmesg The problem is intermittent but has happened a couple times today

Arch Linux gtk3: 3.24.37 xapp: 2.4.2 Cinnamon: 5.6.7

Glib2 swapped out their own memory allocator for malloc, which exposes memory safety issues in downstream applications.

Various other packages with memory safety issues are being exposed by the upstream changes made to glib2: https://lore.kernel.org/distributions/87pm97325m.fsf@gentoo.org/T/
