[Bug 515701] [NEW] rox with the option --pinboard crashes

[AutoStatic]

Public bug reported:

Source package:

jeremy at soushi:~$ which rox
/usr/bin/rox
jeremy at soushi:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/rox
rox-filer: /usr/bin/rox

1) jeremy at soushi:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 9.10
Release:	9.10

2) jeremy at soushi:~$ apt-cache policy rox-filer
rox-filer:
  Installed: 1:2.5-1build1
  Candidate: 1:2.5-1build1
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.5-1build1 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) When using IceWM for exemple I want 'rox --pinboard=test' to take
over my desktop and to show a 'home' icon

4) What happened instead:
jeremy at soushi:~$ rox --pinboard=test
jeremy at soushi:~$ The program 'rox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 600 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Possible solution: update rox to 2.10, it's now at 2.5, see bug #432614.
Rox is also compiled with GTK 2.10.3 while Karmic has GTK 2.18.3, maybe
that could be a cause too:

jeremy at soushi:~$ rox --version
