Description Bojan Smojver 2007-08-09 02:03:15 UTC
Description of problem:
Occasionally this program crashes, causing all window decorations to disappear.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.3.6-8.fc7

How reproducible:
Intermittent. I was unable to figure out any pattern to this behaviour.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run compiz.
2. Wait for gtk-window-decorator to crash.
  
Actual results:
Crashes.

Expected results:
Should run.

Additional info:
Starting gtk-window-decorator& from within the terminal puts back the decorations.

Comment 1 Bojan Smojver 2007-08-12 21:50:57 UTC
This showed up on the terminal from which gtk-window-decorator was restarted,
after yet another crash:
-----------------------------------------------
The program 'gtk-window-decorator' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
(Details: serial 3530128 error_code 16 request_code 155 minor_code 35)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
-----------------------------------------------

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 13:55:22 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/

The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-06-17 02:07:41 UTC
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. 
Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not 
receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we 
are closing this bug. 

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version 
of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
