283300 - If gdk_threads_init is called then gtkmozembed hangs in some situations

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[Mirko Maischberger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)

The widget causes a deadlock in some situations after gdk_threads_init is called. 

Please refer to http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Threads.html for
details. The test code can be downloaded from 
http://mirko.lilik.it/ruby-gnome2/moztest-unlock.c.

I've written another test application
http://mirko.lilik.it/ruby-gnome2/moztest.c which does not call gdk_threads_init
and thad _does_ work.

NOTES: 
- Tried the mozilla-1.7.5 version and the Firefox-1.0 version from debian sarge
and gentoo. 
- GNOME 2.8.1. 
- pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --modversion = 2.4.14. 
- pkg-config glib-2.0 --modversion = 2.6.2. 
- pkg-config gthread-2.0 --modversion = 2.6.2.
- pkg-config mozilla-gtkmozembed --modversion = 1.7.5


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile the test-app with: gcc `pkg-config gthread-2.0 gtk+-2.0
mozilla-gtkmozembed --cflags --libs` -o moztest-thread moztest-unlock.c
2. run ./moztest-thread
3. go to http://www.hangs-if-not-found-dialog-opens.nowhere
3b. go to www.macromedia.com (or other flash sites)

Actual Results:  
hangs

Expected Results:  
error dialog or page displayed
