3.

Actual Results:  
It crashs with the message above.

Expected Results:  
I should be able to create a new starter icon on the xfce desktop.

[Comment 1 Christoph Mende (RETIRED) 2008-11-06 12:59:20 UTC]

does this still happen with latest exo/glib?

[Comment 2 Torsten Krah 2008-11-06 13:11:15 UTC]

No. This can be closed, fixed by upstream i guess.
