[Bug 763510] Re: Evolution freezes while browsing Google address book

 

Hi,

I had the same problem with my Personal contacts, it happens when I
click on a contact with two or more IM accounts and evolution must
render the icons for the account in the Contact Preview window.

The problem seems to be in the package libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0. More specific
the function gdk_pixbuf_loader_load_module (file gdk-pixbuf-loader.c)
seems to call _gdk_pixbuf_lock but does not call _gdk_pixbuf_unlock.

After applying the following patch, the problem seems to disappear.

** Patch added: "gdk-pixbuf-2.23.3 patch"
