[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#444957: xfce4-mcs-manager: Abiword crashes at startup while xfce-mcs-manager is running

[G. Milde]

Package: xfce4-mcs-manager
Version: 4.4.1-1
Severity: normal


Since some time starting abiword results in a short appearance of the slash
screen and then a crash with

  # > abiword
  Abgebrochen

I filed a bug report to abiword (Bug#443048) but still wondered why this
grave problem seems to be almost unknown. At some stage, I realised that
when using Gnome or KDE instead of XFCE, abiword works fine. Further
experimenting revealed that killing xfce4-mcs-manager solves the abiword
problem.

Whether this incompatibility is the fault of abiword or xfce4-mcs-manager is
above my knowledge.

Thanks, Guenter
