62058 - Different gtkEmbed's behave differently

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, defect, P3)

Description

[Curt Patrick (gone)]

The gtkEmbed that comes in embed-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz behaves differently 
from that in  mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz.  When I tried to launch several 
URLs in a row from the embed one a steady stream of errors and warnings get 
generated to standard out, the browser bails after the 5th or 6th one and the 
component.reg file gets corrupted.  The gtkEmbed that comes in the mozilla tar, 
however, will run without the errors and will launch through 100 or more urls.  
Clearly the two are not synonimous.

sounds like a package problem.

Reporter is that still a problem in the latest nightlies?

Tracy and I did some extensive testing with today's (12/27) build.  Although the 
behavior seems to be closer than I originally recall it being there are still 
definite differences.  Here are two that I identified:

- The embed version generates the error message:  "Error: Failed to get 
TransactionManager instance" several times for (almost?) every url that gets 
opened.  I can't identify any specific negative behavior associated with the 
message but we don't get the message at all for gtkEmbed from the mozilla 
package.

- The embed version of gtkEmbed shuts down whenever we try to open the static 
site http://jrgm.mcom.com/perf/loadtime5/base/bugzilla.mozilla.org.  No problem 
using the mozilla one.

ed, are you looking at this?  any progress?   stop by and lets
talk about this one today?

not critical for shipping betas in 0.9.1 but we need to get 
cranking on making gtkembed more reflective of an application
that excersizes more of the embedding api's
