Bug 121828 – wnck-applet goes in endless loop when ssh-askpass is run

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description Maik Musall 2006-02-06 06:53:02 UTC]

After the latest gnome update, I have gnome-panel 2.12.2 installed. Whenever
any application uses ssh-askpass, the process wnck-applet starts consuming
100% of CPU and the panel is dead. I always have to kill the process and
then have gnome restart the three depending applets.

Reproducible at any time by just invoking x11-ssh-askpass from the command
line. My x11-ssh-askpass version is the current stable 1.2.2-r1.

I have the very same problem running current ~x86 system.

Maik and Jiri,

Can any of you reproduce this bug with an up-to-date stable or unstable gnome?

Don't hesitate to reopen this bug if it's still there.

Thanks

Solved with current version.
