obconf segfaults with the --tab option when changing pager options

This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #1218221. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Note starting this with a tab other than 6 in the command line will also have cause a segmentation fault on the command line.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Workaround to people trying to launch obconf to a tab thorugh desktop pager is you can add new desktops in LXDE by middle clicking on the desktop. and selecting add new desktop or removing the last desktop. You can also launch obconf from the menu in LXDE.

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu ISO testing tracker.

i should add, too, that the typical way a user confronts this bug is
by right clicking on the desktop pager and selecting the option from
the context menu to change the pager preferences. this results in no
apparent effect, but ultimately, this is what's happening underneath.

I can't reproduce on my x86_64 system. Is anyone can reproduce it on an 15.04 ISO ?

I can reproduce in a vm and on a system upgraded to 15.04. both from launching `obconf --tab 3` and from the desktop pager. 

I can confirm this is still present in Lubuntu 14.10 (fresh install). X86 system...

On a related subject, is also still present a bug that I've been observing in Openbox desktop pager for quite a while (I've searched for a report on it, but so far either I'm looking in the wrong way, or no one has reported it): If say, I open a program in Desktop 2, It appears (as per desktop pager) in Desktop 1, even though the program is actually open in desktop 1...

I am running Lubuntu 14.10 on an amd64 machine and have experienced the problem.

I have found the source of the problem and have just submitted a fix as a Pull Request at https://github.com/danakj/obconf/pull/5. See the PR comments for more details.

Surprisingly, I cannot find a report of the error at the upstream issue tracker, https://bugzilla.icculus.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=obconf.

Steven, utterly fantastic work! Would you mind creating a proper Github issue to go with that? I'd also suggest filing a report on the upstream and leaving a comment on the debbug. Don't forget to link us here. Thanks!
