[Bug 302695] [NEW] Segmentation fault when running revelation without root privileges

[Deapesh]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: revelation

On Ubuntu 8.04.1, attempting to run revelation 0.4.11 without root
privileges (either via command prompt or by clicking on the menu) and
then clicking on the 'open' option in its menu bar, results in a
segmentation fault.

Running it via sudo on the command prompt does not result in the crash.

===========
Here is the last part of the ptrace log:

open("/home/dea/.gtk-bookmarks", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 13
fstat64(13, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=141, ...}) = 0
read(13, "null,\"type\":3,\"value\":\"\"},{\"name"..., 8192) = 141
read(13, "", 8192)                      = 0
close(13)                               = 0
open("/home/dea/.gtk-bookmarks", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 13

read(13, "", 8192)                      = 0
close(13)                               = 0
