[rox-devel] Apparent race condition with _ROX_PANEL_MENU_POS

[Tony H. <h...@re...>]

Pager has occasionally been crashing on start-up and I tracked it down
to its trying to read _ROX_PANEL_MENU_POS and getting a NULL. My best
guess is that there's a delay between ROX-Filer setting the property
with gdk_property_change and other programs being able to read it. This
is backed up by the crashes most often occurring if I log out of X and
back in, so that Pager starts up quicker due to caching.

Any ideas for a way round this? Do you think it would help to insert a
gtk_main_iteration_do(FALSE) between setting the property and running
the child?

Of course, now I'm trying to force it I can't reproduce the problem!
