Description of problem: Cairo apps may crash randomly with MIT-SHM errors: (remote-viewer:29235): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'remote-viewer' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. (Details: serial 2011 error_code 10 request_code 130 (MIT-SHM) minor_code 1) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) The bug has been solved upstream: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/?id=98d01cd119eaa7d50cf0ec6c6cc32ee170397ad5 Please include this fix in fedora
amazed that no one else hit the issue and that it is still unsolved in fedora..., still potentially there, updating version.
This was included in upstream cairo 1.14.8 release that we have in F24+.
