Every time I receive an email in Evolution, the notification daemon crashes(without showing the notification) and bug-buddy pops up. If I press Cancel, bug-buddy keeps reappearing until I kill -9 `pidof notification-daemon` , after which the incoming email notification pops up. A new email though will crash the daemon again. This may be related to the fact that I'm using E17 as window manager, although notification-daemon-0.3.7 worked fine. GNU gdb 6.8 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Thanks for the report, assigning to maintainers.
the current backtrace is useless, please read documentation at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
I cannot reproduce this crash at all, and I user evolution every day :-/
Stelian sorry but we need some more information to work with. To get more useful backtrace you need to rebuild some other packages with debugging symbols. I the current situation: #2 0xb77964d8 in *__GI_abort () at abort.c:88 #3 0xb78ff2f5 in g_logv () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb78ff349 in g_log () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #5 0xb78ff58d in g_return_if_fail_warning () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #6 0xb7eea5b9 in wnck_window_is_on_workspace () from /usr/lib/libwnck-1.so.22 you need to rebuilds package which provides /usr/lib/libwnck-1.so.22 and /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (to find out what package provides this library, use qfile /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0). After that, crash notification-daemon another time and probably you'll see that some other bits are still missed in backtrace. This will mean you need to rebuild another packages. After you get full backtrace attach it here and reopen bug. Closing as NEEDINFO.
I tried this again and apparently it doesn't happen any more.
Just upgraded to gnome 2.26(built entirely with debugging symbols) and this happens again: using the "notification-properties" capplet I do a notification test(by pressing "Preview") and it works, then I start evolution(2.26.0) and the test crashes the notification daemon. If I then close evolution, the test works again. This appears to be somehow triggered by evolution. Versions used: sys-apps/dbus-1.2.3-r1, dev-libs/glib-2.20.0, x11-libs/libwnck-2.26.0, mail-client/evolution-2.26.0, x11-misc/notification-daemon-0.4.0
Created attachment 187426 [details] Bug-buddy report
Possibly related to bug #256295 Evo crashing with notification issues and evo crashing notification-daemon seem likely to be related somehow.

No, I'm using enlightenment.
I installed gnome 2.28 and this bug is gone, so I suppose that libwnck got fixed.
