Description

My system is Arch Linux x64, I'm using Xarchiver as my archive manager.

Bug is 100% reproducible on my system. Here's full procedure that causes crash:

I navigate to some directory in Thunar. Then I select some large file, and select 'Create Archive' in right-click context menu. 'Adding to archive' dialog opens.

When I click 'Cancel' in opened dialog, I get logged out to LightDM greeter.

The issue is most probably caused by archive plugin, not Xarchiver. If I invoke the same dialog from command line and then cancel it, nothing bad happens.

There is nothing interesting in Xorg logs, no backtrace or anything. It just terminates.

And so far, I am not the only one, who encountered this problem. I've seen a thread from 2010 on Arch Linux forums about exactly same problem (it's here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=824505, if that helps).
