Bug 489611

Sorry for bothering you but the above information doesn't help me to resolve your issue.
Please give me more info:

1. what desktop are you using?
2. what's a reproducibility? can you still see that after restarting the desktop?
3. when does it happen?
4. Can you see any warnings or errors in .xsession-errors? if you can provide a whole logs, would be better.

KMail works for me on both of GNOME and KDE. there should be any triggers to see your issue.

Created attachment 334779 [details]
.xsession-errors

1. I was using GNOME. Due to the problems I've now switched to KDE.
2. I rebooted several times. To take KMail as one example. It worked fine for several hours of intermittent use. Then at some point, having sent messages in the previous hours I would do Ctrl+N (new message) as usual, and although the new message dialog appeared all keyboard interaction with KMail stopped. Another example is a PIM application that I wrote in PyQt4. I used it to keep notes and again, it would work fine for some time, then suddenly editing text would stop working and the application would stop responding to the keyboard---this application has been in use for several years with no problems of this kind before.
3. Randomly unfortunately!
4. I've attached .xession-errors, but it might not have the GNOME stuff in it since I have now switched to KDE. (Too early to say if KDE has the same bug though.)

And a few details please:
rpm -q libgxim qt kdelibs

Doesn't it happen on KDE right? imsettings features are totally disabled on KDE and no involvements to libgxim at all. if you say it also happens on even KDE, please give me what "echo $XMODIFIERS" say.

I guess it might be a same issue to Bug #488976?

$ rpm -q libgxim qt kdelib
libgxim-0.3.2-4.fc10.i386
qt-4.4.3-10.fc10.i386
package kdelib is not installed

(Of course it might have been different yesterday since I did a complete KDE install today---however, I don't think libgxim or qt were changed.)

I haven't experienced the problem with KDE---so far---but because the problem is inconsistent it might happen later on; but I'd assume for now that KDE is okay.

Okay. I'm suspecting your problem would be same to Bug #488976. so can you follow up on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488976#c7 on GNOME and see if your problem is gone with it?

OK, I've installed the two packages and switched on the sync_on_forward. I won't really get the chance to see how it works 'til tomorrow though.

Sorry for trouble. better installing http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1236736.
and that would be really appreciated if you can test both cases of turning sync_on_forward on and off.

Hi, yesterday I installed:
imsettings-0.105.1-3.fc10.3.i386.rpm
imsettings-libs-0.105.1-3.fc10.3.i386.rpm
which seem to be the same ones as you just mentioned.
I set sync_on_forward true yesterday and have not had any problems this morning.
I've now done sync_on_forward false and will let you know if I hit any problems.

I can confirm this behaviour for applications under wine on a laptop, fedora 10, GNOME, desktop effects enabled.
I found that if I enable input method (System->Preferences->Personal->Input Method) it works fine.
If I find problems I will report in this bug.

regards

confused. confirm with which version of libgxim and imsettings?

$ rpm -q libgxim imsettings
libgxim-0.3.2-4.fc10.i386
imsettings-0.105.1-2.fc10.i386

Thanks. see Comment #6 and Comment #8 for pre-testing package.

After one day of use (half with sync_on_forward false, half with it true) I've found no difference, and none of the problems I had before has recurrred.

When you add the fixed packages will I have to do anything special, or will they just work when I do "yum update"?

Thanks.

No, basically you don't need to do anything else unless you find any issues on either of mode.
