[Bug 40848] Re: Changing theme kills Gnome

[Sebastien Bacher]

Did you have a custom clearlooks theme installed for your use? What do you call "edit the Clearlooks theme"? Changing the GTK theme by example? Could you get a backtrace of gnome-panel or other application when that happens using gdb

attach gdb to the panel before changing theme:
- gdb -p $(pidof gnome-panel)   
(gdb) continue

change the theme, if the panel crash you will get a gdb prompt, then type "thread apply ally bt" and copy that to a comment
