Description Thomas 2010-05-20 20:52:52 UTC 
When xfce4-screenshooter is started by a user for the first time (i. e. without configuration file), it terminates immediately with a Segmentation fault.
When libxfce4util-4.7.1 is installed, it does not crash, but libxfce4util complains about a failed assertion:
(xfce4-screenshooter:23878): libxfce4util-CRITICAL **: xfce_rc_close: assertion `rc != NULL' failed


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rm .config/xfce4/xfce4-screenshooter
2. xfce4-screenshooter
3. -> Segmentation fault

Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  
The configuration dialog is started.

Sure.  Could you add the patch to the gentoo patches for xfce4-screenshooter in the meantime?

TNX.

Thank you for integrating the patch so quickly.  -r1 works fine on amd64, i think you can stabilize it.  (Well, the patch is simple enough. ;-)
