Bug Description

Impact:
Brasero is only usable in desktop sessions that include GNOME. Running in KDE, Openbox, XFCE, or any other environment causes a crash.

Addressing:
The bug has been fixed upstream and is in the next release of Brasero already in the current development Ubuntu release (natty).

Minimal Patch:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/brasero/patch/?id=3775cd7fc7d15aa03131a1d5cdccf57f185e2b92

TEST CASE:
1) Install Kubuntu
2) Install Brasero
3) Attempt to burn a DVD
4) Observe a crash

Regression Potential:
Regression potential is low, the patch that's included is just properly cleaning up after an error when the system was unable to inhibit suspend due to GNOME not running.

I reproduced this problem. To be more specific, this happens immediately when I try to burn something under KDE.

I'm hitting this problem on a fully updated Kubuntu 10.10. Please see the attached stack trace (with almost all debugging symbols).

Steps to reproduce:
  - open brasero
  - create a new cd (type doesn't matter, I chose data cd for simplicity)
  - add one or more files
  - click "burn" (loosely translated)
  - notice the segmention fault

Does the attached stack trace include all required information? I'm happy to provide any further information for solving this bug.

Turns out the problem is already known and fixed at upstream [1].
I've successfully built a version of brasero based on the current ubuntu sources (apt-get source brasero). After applying the mentioned [2] patch, the problem no longer exists.

Hope this helps to release a fixed brasero package soon.
