This is a very annoying problem. I have ubuntu 6.10 which uses libgtk 2.10.6; aMule (and so far only aMule) crashes when you close tabs, it also crashes sometimes when you close some and leave some. Happens in search, chat, anyplace where you can create and close tabs.

As a workaround, I wish someone could provide a static binary compiled with whatever gtk version the program was tested with.

This is not true. Several samples from the wxWidgets SDK are crashing, too. And audacity crashes, too.

It seems to affect many wxWidgets apps. Linking gtk statically is not possible because the gtk design (dynamically loadable modules for themes, text renderers etc.) doesn't allow it.

Are the aMule programmers aware of this severe problem affecting a lot of people?

How about a sticky or faq entry? And, should we bug gtk devs, wxwidget devs, or our distro maintainers?

It would help to know exactly where the problem is.

Well, as Kry seems to think this is not his problem, and I'm no good at scanning code for the exact cause of the problem, I'll just start using the (as of now) much more functional eMule with wine.
I have done what I could in reporting this bug (or whatever Kry wants to call it), so until someone with the skills take an interest... so long.

I don't "seem to think" is not my problem, and I don't "want to call it" anything but a bug. but it's NOT AN AMULE BUG, and so we can do NOTHING about it. ask Audacity. Check the wx samples. they CRASH. Because *it's a gtk/wx bug*. And we can't do ANYTHINg about it. Of course, you're free to go and use eMule with wine, and whine all you want, because you can't close the last search tab.

It's like blaming firefox because your kernel has a bug. Childish and nonsense.

I love the skills refence. Really. We don't have the skills to fix something we can't fix. Lovely. The bug IS NOT ON AMULE. Is it that hard to understand?

Of course I understand that it is not your fault and that you can do nothing about it directly! Something that I also understand - and this make me a bit angry - is that you do not seem to feel the responsibility to contact any of those who can fix this bug for us! You are the developer and admin aren't you? If you do not care for either your users or your application why did you put those titles under your name?
If I had the knowledge and the contacts to do anything but nag and whine (as you put it), I would certainly do that. But as of now this seems to be the only productive thing I can do; and in productive I mean getting you activated about this issue so that actually something may happen.
You can just ignore us of course, but suddenly there will be none there to ignore -  think about that!

The responsible developers are already aware of the problem. And I can assure you, that they are trying to fix this problem. It just won't be productive to tell them every day.

About 'functionality': I'm still able to use a fully functional aMule. There's nothing affected. Everything I have to take care about is not closing the last tab. And this is really not a big deal, isn't it?

May I carefully ask if this might already be fixed?

I cannot reproduce this crash anymore with gtk-2.10 + wxGTK 2.8.

If that is the case, I'm a happy camper again! :)

Might be fixed on wx 2.8, that's why I worked to make aMule able to compile with it.
