Description

I have the same error as well on two laptops that I have upgraded from Fedora 14. I have the same versions. This is a really annoying bug, because I use Alt-Tab very often. The same thing happens here. Very annoying. I have got still the same versions, but Alt-Tab started working for me over the weekend after doing "yum update". I have got still the same versions of gnome-shell and the extension: gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc15.i686 gnome-shell-extensions-alternate-tab-3.0.2-1.g63dd27cgit.fc15.noarch ... so the issue was probably related to some 3rd library, which got updated recently. Best regards Michal Ambroz The extension was working for me when I installed it a few weeks ago (which would have been in a similar time-frame as Michal's comment), but after an update in the past few days is now crashing every time, presumably because a library has changed again. I have the same versions as in Michal's comment. Mike Hello, this is really strange. I had to reinstall the machine from a scratch and Alt-Tab is not working for me again. Still the same versions of gnome-shell and extensions. I fail to detect the race condition, which is triggering this annoying bug. $ rpm -qa|grep gnome-shell gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc15.i686 gnome-shell-extensions-common-3.0.2-1.g63dd27cgit.fc15.noarch gnome-shell-extensions-alternate-tab-3.0.2-1.g63dd27cgit.fc15.noarch Error in the .xsession-errors: St-ERROR **: st_widget_get_theme_node called on the widget [0xa700090 ShellGenericContainer.switcher-list ("mambroz@mixer:~")] which is not in the stage. aborting... Could be duplicate of 696522 Added links to other bug reports most probably triggered by the same issue to "See Also". Alt-Tab seems to work with these versions: $ rpm -qa|grep gnome-shell gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab-3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15.noarch gnome-shell-extension-places-menu-3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15.noarch gnome-shell-3.0.2-4.fc15.i686 gnome-shell-extension-common-3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15.noarch gnome-shell-extension-alternative-status-menu-3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15.noarch Now after recent updates Alt-Tab crashes gnome-shell again! Command "rpm -qa|grep gnome-shell" shows exactly the same versions as in my previous post on 2011-09-01 04:32:16 EDT. This is very annoying! Also seeing this bug. Default Alt-Tab (grouped icons requiring Alt-~) is bad, but crashing the shell with the Alt-Tab works logically is worse. Gnome 3 has a whole bunch of awesome, but plenty of annoying.
When I saw the error, I had the following gnome-shell-extension* packages installed:
gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab.noarch
3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15 @updates
gnome-shell-extension-alternative-status-menu.noarch
3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15 @updates
gnome-shell-extension-common.noarch
3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15 @updates
I've also noticed there are two almost identical packages available via yum:
> yum list gnome-shell-extension*alternate-tab
Available Packages
gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab.noarch
3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15 updates
gnome-shell-extensions-alternate-tab.noarch
3.0.0-5.6d56cfgit.fc15 fedora
I've installed the older plural ("extensions") from the fedora repo, we'll see how this one goes.
