[Bug 321176] Re: [Jaunty] alarm-clock causes screen to freeze

[sabby7890]

I won't unsubscribe, because this patricular bug number 321176 is
related to my application Alarm Clock. I am subscribed automatically to
any bug that is triggered in my application, because I am the main
developer. I wanted to say that THIS bug can be closed because Alarm
Clock no longer suffers from it, and freezing desktop when you do strace
is not a bug in Alarm Clock. Please don't tell me to unsubscribe from my
own bugzilla.

Anyway, I am trying to write a testcase to demonstrate the bug. The bug
itself was caused (I think) by doing changes on the status icon from
outside of main GTK loop without gtk.gdk.threads_enter() and
gtk.gdk.threads_leave(). This funcion reads birthdays from a file on
hard drive, checks if there's a birthday today, and then changes the
status icon tooltip and icon.

This is not efficent, because it does that every second and every second
it sets the Alarm-Clock's tray icon to normal or alarm-caution.svg.
That's why I am reimplementing it, but this seems to trigger the bug.
