It should work with ./configure --with-gc=boehm.
We'll have a look at this. Sometime, when we're feeling adventorous.
I actually had set mono-2.2 to be the one where we would do this, but it seems that quite a few changes have been made to the included garbage collector, among them some that enabled Mono.WebBrowser to work. For reference, below is the backtrace I got when running the test-application included with gluezilla. It works with the included garbage collector. This bug will probably have to wait till mono gets their own garbage collector included. It should be Real Soon Now (tm). mono --debug test.exe /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:47: Invalid symbolic color 'bg_color' /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:47: error: invalid identifier `bg_color', expected valid identifier Stacktrace: Native stacktrace: /usr/lib/libmono.so.0 [0x2b686d22ed7d] /usr/lib/libmono.so.0 [0x2b686d26229d] /lib/libpthread.so.0 [0x2b686d654950] /usr/lib/libgc.so.1(GC_gcj_malloc+0x73) [0x2b686e0bba13] [0x407ec799] Debug info from gdb: [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0x2b686eb9dd30 (LWP 4804)] [New Thread 0x41490950 (LWP 4813)] [New Thread 0x4128f950 (LWP 4810)] [New Thread 0x40a00950 (LWP 4809)] [New Thread 0x406ce950 (LWP 4808)] [New Thread 0x4108e950 (LWP 4807)] [New Thread 0x40d00950 (LWP 4806)] [New Thread 0x407ff950 (LWP 4805)] 0x00002b686d650d79 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 Current language: auto; currently asm 8 Thread 0x407ff950 (LWP 4805) 0x00002b686d6540d1 in nanosleep () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 7 Thread 0x40d00950 (LWP 4806) 0x00002b686d652bc1 in sem_wait () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 6 Thread 0x4108e950 (LWP 4807) 0x00002b686d6537cb in read () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 5 Thread 0x406ce950 (LWP 4808) 0x00002b686d650d79 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 4 Thread 0x40a00950 (LWP 4809) 0x00002b686d650d79 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 3 Thread 0x4128f950 (LWP 4810) 0x00002b686d927296 in *__GI___poll (fds=0x4128ec70, nfds=1, timeout=-1) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c:87 2 Thread 0x41490950 (LWP 4813) 0x00002b686d650ffd in pthread_cond_timedwait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 1 Thread 0x2b686eb9dd30 (LWP 4804) 0x00002b686d650d79 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 Thread 8 (Thread 0x407ff950 (LWP 4805)): #0 0x00002b686d6540d1 in nanosleep () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x00002b686d326062 in collection_thread (unused=<value optimized out>) at collection.c:34 #2 0x00002b686d64d037 in start_thread (arg=<value optimized out>) at pthread_create.c:297 #3 0x00002b686d92fa9d in clone () from /lib/libc.so.6 #4 0x0000000000000000 in ??
