[java-gnome-hackers] HBox constructor causing segfaults.

[Philip A. C. <pc...@td...>]

Everyone,

In the constructor org.gnu.gtk.HBox.HBox(), I commented out the line:

initializeEventHandlers();

The reason is that it causes segfaults when called during the
construction of org.gnu.gnome.AppBar, which extends HBox.  AppBar works
fine if I comment out the line in HBox as specified above and call
initializeEventHandlers() from AppBar's constructor AFTER calling
AppBar's gnome_appbar_new native method (thereby obtaining a handle).

The same applies for org.gnu.gnome.DateEdit as it also extends
org.gnu.gtk.HBox.

Jeffrey,
You are far more familiar with org_gnu_glib_GObject's create_callback
method than I.  Would you mind looking into this?  Should subclasses of
HBox simply always call initializeEventHandlers() or is there a way to
make it work from HBox's constructor?

The good news is that the TestGNOME application pretty much works now. 
There's a few annoying things, like buttons that do nothing on the
dialogs that are opened from the main app.  However. there are no more
segfaults and all the enabled buttons on the main app seem to be doing
what they are supposed to.

Thanks,
