Fake application crash (Fedora)

[frengo@lemm.ee]

I'm receving false application crash reports on Fedora 41. It's happened since day 1 with Spotify and now with Half-Life. "Sorry this application has crashed..." even though i'm still using them with no problems whatsoever. This morning happened again as soon as i booted up my pc with hl_linux even though i uninstalled the game after finishing it.

It could be that the process forked and crashed, which is why you got the notification, but that it kept working. It might also be a delayed notification?

I saw something similar happen on my partners Ubuntu with Zoom "crashing" multiple times while working. Didn't dig to the bottom of it, the notifications eventually stopped after some reboots.

Maybe it's a dangling dependency process that keeps crashing.
