[Bug 1347272] Re: Several XFCE applications appear unresponsive after communicating with a daemon

 

@ Alistair,

I don't explicitly have Unity installed (I'm on Xubuntu 14.04), but a
search via synaptic shows that I do have these Unity-related packages
installed, possibly as dependencies for some piece of software I was
compiling:

gir1.2-unity-5.0     7.1.4+14.04.20140210-0ubuntu1
libunity-protocol-private0     7.1.4+14.04.20140210-0ubuntu1
libunity-scopes-json-def-desktop     7.1.4+14.04.20140210-0ubuntu1
libunity9     7.1.4+14.04.20140210-0ubuntu1
unity-gtk-module-common     0.0.0+14.04.20140403-0ubuntu1
unity-gtk2-module     0.0.0+14.04.20140403-0ubuntu1
unity-gtk3-module     0.0.0+14.04.20140403-0ubuntu1

Also, I don't have any overlay-scrollbar packages installed, but I do
have these dbusmenu packages installed:

gir1.2-dbusmenu-glib-0.4     12.10.3+14.04.20140612-0ubuntu1
libdbusmenu-qt-dev     0.9.3+14.04.20140314-0ubuntu1
libdbusmenu-qt2     0.9.3+14.04.20140314-0ubuntu1

Bug description:
  Several programs in Xfce have a daemon mode call gtk_init() before
  fork()ing.

  This is unsafe, and when it goes wrong this will typically manifest as
  the daemon hanging shortly after forking, and appearing to simply do
  nothing at all.
