Bug Description

During my debugging of adding/deleting applets in desktop-agnostic, I noticed that when the opening glow effect was occurring and the applet that was glowing was killed, the dock segfaulted. I don't have a backtrace because I was using nemiver (Gnome frontend to gdb) to debug.

The following patch simply checks to see if the variable fx->self is a GtkWidget, and if so, queues it for drawing. IMO, it is low-risk for causing any more bugs/crashes.

I should note that the patch is against desktop-agnostic, although the only parts of libawn/awn-effects.c that differ, IIRC, are the docblocks.

Thanks for the patch.
I added it to the awn-testing branch to test it before include it in trunk.

I just came across this bug and I thought I'd just quick let you know that you can get a stack trace from nemiver. Just right-click on the call stack and select "Copy" and then you should be able to paste the stack trace. Hope that helps.
