It doesn't seem that this segfault is related to the tray icon error, and I'm not sure where the glib warning is coming from (when it didn't before). If the error is in the Python then I would expect a backtrace from that, and as there isn't one, I'd guess the bug is related to the glib warning. Right?

I'd say the segfault is because you clicked either in the lyrics tab or in the wikipedia one. Am I right? :)

If that's true, the segfault is more likely in the mozembed engine.

Susan: This crash isn't due to the GLib warning, but because of GtkEmbedMoz.

How to reproduce:
-Go to either the Lyrics or the Wikipedia tab.

No. Listen does not even start a GUI. The segfault occurs after creating the tray icon.

Well, it's definitely gtkembedmoz.

I was talking the other day with Alexander Sack, and this solved the crash. Does it works for you?

So the problem seems to be that we're missing an environment variable...

This debdiff fixes the crash.

Gutsy up to date
listen_0.5-4ubuntu1 from repo

I tried previous hacks with no success ( except the .debdiff ) - could you put the right deb in repositories please ?

a lot of users are affected by this bug which was present few releases before, and the best option I think is to offer working version in a easy to use way ( upgrade ) for the large masses.

if is not possible - please write here few lines about using .debdiff patch ( I mean something to follow step by step ).
