Subject: balsa: Balsa crashes when launched from from ssh
Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2007 00:33:53 +0200
Package: balsa
Version: 2.3.17-1
Severity: normal


Balsa launches from a ssh -XC session, I can see the main window with the 
mailboxes on the left.
When I want to open a mailbox, it crashes with this message:


(balsa:4568): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified instance size for type 
`LibBalsaMimeStreamShared' is smaller than the parent type's `GMimeStreamFs' 
instance size

(balsa:4568): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 
`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x1886)!


The crash takes its time to come.
Note that I have the same message, even if I resize Balsa.

Hi,

This is similar to bug 434499, there's a workaround described there.

Please close the report.

Yes, the binNMU took care of this, I'm closing the bug.

balsa (2.3.17-1+b1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Binary-only non-maintainer upload for i386; no source changes.
  * Rebuild against gmime2.2 2.2.10 to correct for ABI skew in an internal glib object
