Segfault in gnome file browser

I can’t seem to get more than a couple of levels deep opening or saving files with Gnome 3.2 apps in openSUSE 11.4. They crash with a segmentation fault. It’s persistent, happens every time. I reported this as a bug, but Gnome 3 isn’t officially supported in 11.4. This is the output from gdb and gedit:

Doesn’t look very useful to me, but maybe somebody here sees more than I do.

You have to report against the repo where G3 comes from.

You go to the download search box, search for a package from the repo, and
get here.


Show unstable packages

openSUSE 11.4
GNOME:STABLE:3.0
GNOME:STABLE:3.2

If we click on “GNOME:STABLE:3.2”, we get
here, where there is a link to “report a bug”. Click on that, and the
Bugzilla will be prefilled with appropiate fields so that it get to the
people responsible for that repo - I’m assuming that’s the one you use.

These people can not say that it is not supported.

Thanks, I’ll try that.
