Description JP Rosevear 2005-10-12 15:07:22 UTC 
From VMWare developer:

JP,

Alex asked me to email you about this.

The bug is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317549

and the fix went into 2.12.3 (and at least 2.12.4 is out already)
but it was too late to make GNOME 2.12.1.

The bug was that they rewrote a bunch of the code for handling
filter elements and ended up with an unused variable that was
being passed as the element id, but of course, that was now NULL,
and then the library would blow up.

On top of that, due to the way they code is written, this bug existed
for each handler for each filter element.

I submitted a patch that fixed the handler for gaussian blurs (the
only FE we use) but Dom fixed all of them in his actual checkin.

Thanks,

--phil

We need to patch the librsvg package in 10.0 so that the beta of VMWARE 5.5
won't crash on SUSE 10. I'll attach the proposed patch here.

Comment 8 JP Rosevear 2005-10-13 16:37:14 UTC 
I was approached in person at a conference last week about the problem by the
vmware guys.  The mail in #1 is the sum total of the email conversation.

Gary, the patch looks about right - we can have the VMWare guys test the new
package as well to make certain it solves their problem.
Comment 9 Anja Stock 2005-10-14 12:09:47 UTC 
I propose to test first, JP, will you please take care and inform me afterwards?
Comment 10 Gary Ekker 2005-10-14 20:09:42 UTC 
Packages for testing on ix86 are at /suse/gekker/src/10.0/PACKAGES/librsvg*.rpm
Comment 11 JP Rosevear 2005-10-17 14:45:55 UTC 
The vmware guys reports this solves their issue.

Requesting swamp ID.
