The package defaults to symlinking /usr/bin/procmeter3 to the xaw version of
the package.

Explicitly starting /usr/bin/procmeter3-gtk2 works fine.

Exporting this report out of #602975 as it is a different cause and the gtk2 frontend
works fine on this system. (Joey's patch for #602975 makes no difference to this
crash.)

I've had a look at the seg fault and it appears that the name of the
returned widget the problem:

(gdb) p *menulabel
$7 = {core = {self = 0x632eb0, widget_class = 0x7ffff7bd6e20, parent = 0x632a90, xrm_name = 540,
    being_destroyed = 0 '\000', destroy_callbacks = 0x0, constraints = 0x0, x = 0, y = 0, width = 78, height = 21,
    border_width = 0, managed = 1 '\001', sensitive = 1 '\001', ancestor_sensitive = 1 '\001', event_table = 0x0, tm = {
      translations = 0x0, proc_table = 0x0, current_state = 0x0, lastEventTime = 0}, accelerators = 0x0,
    border_pixel = 6500656, border_pixmap = 25, popup_list = 0x0, num_popups = 0,
    name = 0x40004 <Address 0x40004 out of bounds>, screen = 0x0, colormap = 0, window = 6500688, depth = 1,
    background_pixel = 6503072, background_pixmap = 6502832, visible = -48 '\320', mapped_when_managed = 59 ';'}}

name is out of bounds in the Widget returned from XtNameToWidget(module_menu,"menuLabel"),
on lines 150 and 170 of xaw/menus.c - wondering if this could be down to a
particular font package not being installed. (Current set includes gsfonts gsfonts-x11
texlive-fonts-recommended ttf-freefont x-ttcidfont-conf xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-encodings xfonts-utils.) (If these lines are omitted, I get Error: Aborting: no font found)

Hello, Neil, thanks for all your help with this bug.

Please install xfonts-base package, and try to reproduce the bug again.

I am able to reproduce it, only after:

# apt-get purge xfonts-base

Again, thanks for your help.

With and without xfonts-base, I get the same seg fault.

I've got some extra X dbg packages installed:

libxaw7-dbg 2:1.0.8-2
libxt6-dbg    1:1.0.7-1

So I get a bit more detail in the trace:

un  xfonts-base    <none>         (no description available)

sudo apt-get install xfonts-base

Setting up xfonts-base (1:1.0.3) ...

There were a few extra packages to install but I'm still getting
exactly the same seg fault. (Tested each time after adding each of the
packages from that list which I didn't already have installed.)

Maybe this isn't a font problem at all, yet -gtk2 continues to operate.

Hello,
Could you please try to reproduce the bug you experiencied,  with the
new 3.5d-1 version of procmeter package that has been uploaded in
unstable?
