"Attempt to unlock mutex" error after glib upgrade #51

Open laurbede opened 9 years ago

laurbede commented 9 years ago

Since last GTK3 upgrade, the Desktop and Applet programs refused to start.

When starting from bash, I receive the following error "Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked, Aborted".

I was able to resolve the issue by inserting a line containing gtk.gdk.threads_enter() just below the lines containing gtk.gdk.threads_init() in the following source code files "WebilderDesktop.py", "webilder_unity_indicator.py" and "webilder_gnome_applet.py".

After amending these files I was able to successfully launch "WebilderDesktop.py" by hand (with python). However, I do not know how to build a fresh binary ...

Maybe this fix can be included in the next release ? Thanks for this unique piece of software !!

Just figured out ... there is no need to build binaries. These scripts execute with the python interpreter engine :-). The above fix therefore does the job. Inclusion of this fix in the next release is anyhow still needed.
