Comment 3 jblawn 2013-08-25 05:12:20 UTC 
After further investigation, there appears appears to be a memory leak which is why the crash is random.  remote-viewer process will get to approx. 500MB and then crash.
Comment 4 Benjamin Reiter 2013-12-12 15:00:05 UTC 
I can confirm this bug. Remote-Viewer.exe crashes after a while due to high memory consumption. Easily reproducible by opening the theme selection on a Windows 7 guest and cycling between the themes "Windows 7" and "Windows Classic".

Is there a workaround or fix available?

Guest-OS is Windows 7 x64
Remote-Viewer Client x64 on OS Windows 7 x64
Comment 5 Benjamin Reiter 2014-02-03 18:30:32 UTC 
This is still happening with version 0.6.0. Both x32 and x64.
Comment 6 Markus Stockhausen 2014-02-09 17:17:52 UTC 
VNC sessions seem to be affected by this bug too.  The easiest way I could reproduce the bug was opening a window in the windows VM. Afterwards just click on the taskbar icon to open/close the window cyclically. It takes only a minute  to raise the crash.

Most important: In my environment the bug shows up only when using 16bpp depth on the client. So at least one part of the problem should be this:

Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2014-02-11 09:23:24 UTC 
Guess we should pull this fix in the mingw-gtk2 package even if it does not make it upstream...
Comment 8 Markus Stockhausen 2014-02-11 10:07:27 UTC 
I support this idea too. The bugfix exists since 11 months and did not find its way into gtk2. Several people reported that the fix works. For running virt-viewer in 16bbp this bugfix is nearly essential.

The fix is in, and in the latest release gtk3 is used
