Description Matthew Miller 2011-03-21 17:31:12 UTC 
gimp-2.6.11-8.fc16.x86_64
gtk2-2.24.3-1.fc15.x86_64

Some operations, like adding a guide or trying to move a layer,
cause the UI to freeze in an odd way. All of the widgets in all Gimp windows
become totally unresponsive, but still repaint. Most strangely, the
paralysis often also applies to, for example, terminal windows and firefox.
Can't even drag them around by the title bar, but minimize and maximize (and
close) still work. If I switch virtual desktops and back (under XFCE), though, suddenly
everything works again.
Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2011-03-22 15:06:32 UTC 
I should add that "by everything works again", I mean the GUI is again responsive. I still can't add guides, so this is a fairly serious show-stopper kind of problem.
Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2011-03-22 18:39:31 UTC 
As the behavior kind of indicates, this appears to be a desktop-environment problem. I can't reproduce under Gnome Shell or under Openbox.
Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2011-03-24 16:13:36 UTC 
Odd. 

Can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log from a session thats showing it, and also ~/.xsession-errors? 

Can you determine any pattern to when it goes unresponsive?

Yeah, in a few minutes.

It is 100% reproducible on two entirely-different Rawhide systems — open an image, and try to drag a guide from one of the rulers. Can you not reproduce?
Comment 5 Kevin Fenzi 2011-03-26 23:20:14 UTC 
Any chance to attach those logs? ;) 

I don't have a rawhide box here running X... ;( 

I don't see this in f15.

Nothing looks interesting to me here :(
Comment 8 Matthew Miller 2011-04-06 21:06:08 UTC 
Still happening, latest rawhide. I'm not sure what to blame, unfortunately. :(
Comment 9 Matthew Miller 2011-04-07 19:10:27 UTC 
moving away my `~/.gimp-2.6` directory doesn't help, btw.
Comment 10 Kevin Fenzi 2011-04-10 19:50:27 UTC 
Does making a complely new user and logging in as them show the issue? 

(Ie, that might tell us if it's system wide or login based).
Comment 11 Matthew Miller 2011-04-26 12:26:01 UTC 
It was system-wide. But, whatever it was, the problem is gone in current rawhide.
