Comment 4 for bug 723956

Hi Florian

I have been trying to work out what is causing this issue but still haven't had any more ideas than before. However I have been running unity-2d-places in terminal and I have collected the errors that come up when I bring up the applications menu.

If it is any use to you I have posted some of the errors below (from just clicking on applications), however most of them seem to just be the same issue of there being no icon found and GTK complaining that the icon is null - unless this is the issue?

Output from terminal:
(<unknown>:5219): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_icon_info_load_icon: assertion `icon_info != NULL' failed

(<unknown>:5219): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_icon_info_load_icon: assertion `icon_info != NULL' failed

Also from the latest update of unity-2d I noted much faster browsing of the places (good work guys).

Furthermore when watching the RAM usage it can dramatically increase just by bringing up the places menu, usually around 10 Mb Memory, 10 MB Resident Memory and 10 Mb Virtual memory.

If there are any other logs I can access or commands I can run to help debug this issue please post here and I will try them out.

Hope that helps.
