I have seen this sort of crash before (usually on shutdown with control-C), but this seems to happen during runtime which is more problematic... The ​original bug (was on the wrong tracker) says this happens on clicking "Apply" in the options window (I assume the main 'Configuration' dialog - not the server options?).

I first thought that this was due to pybonjour, but the backtrace also seems to point to pynotify (and gio/dbus) - maybe we need an idle_add call on the notify path?

No idea why that is.

It may be worth trying a new version of pygtk/gtk/..

It crashes on copy_u8_altivec2 in liboil.

This is a known issue:

• ​macports bug
• ​debian bug

However, applying the patches in the debian bug entry did NOT resolve the issue and the application still crashes at the exact same point which is rather odd.

Until this is resolved, something must be added to prevent us from trying to load pygst on PowerPC macs. (this was done by hand to make the 0.11.0 ppc build)
