GLib recently landed a patch contributed by OpenBSD to fix crashes in the kqueue file monitor backend. Yes, I know we already committed a fix for the problem in bug 199872, but I saw no change in the frequency of gnome-shell crashes. The new patch accepted by upstream seems to change it greatly. It works very well for me and it has been used and tested in OpenBSD ports. I = am unable to trigger any file monitor-related crash in gnome-shell, firefox, evolution. This new patch will be available in GLib 2.58 (GNOME 3.30). Given that we are slow on GNOME upgrades, can we replace the old patch committed = in bug 199872 with the new one to fix things more completely and allow broader testing? The patch I uploaded here includes 4 commits. The first 3 commits are alrea= dy committed to upstream repository, and the last one (written by me) is under review.
