[Bug 1376530] Re: GTK apps crashing with "Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked"
I see GTK+3 in Utopic received the patch, but you need to patch GTK+2 as
well:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-2-24&id=fbf38d16bcc26630f0f721d266509f5bc292f606

Title:
GTK apps crashing with "Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked"
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Attempting to run some GTK apps (e.g. pyrenamer) on 14.10 results in
an immediate crash, with the message "Attempt to unlock mutex that was
not locked".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735428 seems to be the
relevant upstream bug, and there is a patch here:
https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/commit/79c3ff3c4ed74bbcc820dac2d5180fa4d48d55ec
To some extent, this seems to be the result of individual projects
using GTK incorrectly, and some fixes have been made to those
individual projects.
*However*, I am also seeing this bug occur in a closed source third
party application, Stata 13. As Emmanuele Bassi mentions in the Gnome
bug thread, there are probably a lot of applications out in the wild
affected by the same issue, that in some cases cannot be fixed, so it
would be good if a fix could be included in the versions of GTK that
Ubuntu ships.
