Should be fixed with new GNOME 2 in 8.0 |
Description of problem: If the title of a minimized window changes while tty2 is active, gnome will crash. The X server restarts and the login window appears again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-14 How reproducible: Easy to reproduce. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in using gdm and choose gnome 2. Start mozilla 3. Start downloading a large file 4. Iconify the download window 5. Switch to another VC by pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 6. Wait a few seconds Instead of using mozilla the bug can also be reproduced using xterm and any command that will change the window title. Type "sleep 20 ;" followed by the command. Actual results: gnome crash. Messages in /var/log/messages: Mar 2 18:07:56 marvin gnome-name-server[29349]: input condition is: 0x11, exiting Mar 2 18:07:56 marvin gdm(pam_unix)[28540]: session closed for user test Mar 2 18:07:56 marvin gdm[28540]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Expected results: The VC activated by CTRL+ALT+F2 can be used, and gnome will still be available when I switch back with CTRL+ALT+F7. Additional info: The exact gnome component responsible for the crash is unknown. The problem is not there if I log in using failsafe and start twm as my windowmanager.
