Re: Odd segfault

Hi

I guess the real error is this line:

gchar *title = g_strconcat("Select a ", type);

> From GLib manual: The variable argument list must end with NULL. If you
forget the NULL, g_strconcat() will start appending random memory junk to
your string.

BTW: It's better to use gtk_dialog_run e.g. (from my mind and an example):

gchar     *title = g_strconcat( "Select a ", type, NULL );
gchar     *utf8 = g_locale_to_utf8( title, -1, NULL, NULL, NULL );
GtkWidget *selector = gtk_file_selection_new( utf8 );

g_free( utf8 );
gtk_window_set_modal( GTK_WINDOW( selector ), TRUE );

switch( gtk_dialog_run( GTK_DIALOG( selector ) ) )
{
case GTK_RESPONSE_OK:
    filename = gtk_file_selection_get_filename( selector );

    // * Do your "ok" stuff *

default:
    gtk_widget_destroy( selector );
    break;
}

HTH
