[Solved] nm-applet segfaults after asking for wifi password

nm-applet version: 1.0.6-1
nerworkmanager version: 1.0.7-1
gnome-keyring version: 3.18.1

I have nm-applet running in xfce4-panel. For two days now I cannot connect to a wifi (which is probably another problem). I updated my system, installed gnome-keyring, versions see above. When I run nm-applet from command line I see that it segaults. Running with valgrind gives following output (only the interesing part at the end)

This happens after the password promp popup appears, I enter the password and press 'connect'.
Any ideas?

Just the generic answer --- Is your system fully up to date or did you accidentally perform a partial update?  (Try pacman -Syu  )

Re: [Solved] nm-applet segfaults after asking for wifi password

Yes and no. I had a self-compiled version of glib2 installed which broke nm-applet. I'll mark it as solved.
