Ouch, this is nasty. When running Gnome the new GTK file dialog uses
gnome-vfs as a backend, and gnome-vfs creates some threads. But
malloc
in Emacs can't handle different threads so we crash. One workaround
is
to set the use-old-gtk-file-dialog variable to t (it looks quite nice
on
Debian testing).
I can confirm that the workaround works, thanks. It bring back the
old file selection dialog that I'm used to, which I even prefer. Btw,
shouldn't that variable be customizable?
