The xfce4-stopwatch-plugin-0.2.0 crashes due to a segmentation fault using the ebuild installation. The crash of the plugin also kills the xfce4-panel process it's been loaded into. It occurs due to not checking the return value of xfce_panel_plugin_lookup_rc_file() for NULL in the function stopwatch_plugin_load() which is called during startup of the plugin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xfce4-stopwatch-plugin (USE-flag "debug" doesn't change anything) 2. Load it into a started xfce4-panel 3. See the panel crash The below patch eliminates the problem (and partly ungarbles the source): diff -urw a/panel-plugin/stopwatch.c b/panel-plugin/stopwatch.c --- a/panel-plugin/stopwatch.c 2009-07-28 00:47:25.000000000 +0200 +++ b/panel-plugin/stopwatch.c 2010-10-01 05:23:34.611694903 +0200 @@ -582,7 +582,11 @@ g_return_if_fail (panel_plugin != NULL); _tmp0_ = NULL; _tmp1_ = NULL; - rc = (_tmp1_ = xfce_rc_simple_open (_tmp0_ = xfce_panel_plugin_lookup_rc_file (panel_plugin), TRUE), _tmp0_ = (g_free (_tmp0_), NULL), _tmp1_); + _tmp0_ = xfce_panel_plugin_lookup_rc_file (panel_plugin); + if (!_tmp0_) + return; + rc = xfce_rc_simple_open (_tmp0_, TRUE); + g_free (_tmp0_); elapsed = (my_time_val_init_zero (&_tmp2_), _tmp2_); sscanf (xfce_rc_read_entry (rc, "elapsed_sec", "0"), "%ld", &elapsed.tv_sec); sscanf (xfce_rc_read_entry (rc, "elapsed_usec", "0"), "%ld", &elapsed.tv_usec);
