I'm running fedora core 4 i do upgrade from fedora core 3 with apt-get using freshrpms.net. 
[root@davidian info]# cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)
[root@davidian info]#
[root@davidian info]# uname -a;
Linux davidian 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

[root@davidian info]# cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep -i athlon

I'll try to upgrade xmms with newer a.k.a. ending on fc4 but anyway it's totally  not logical to crash X when trying to change the playlist font in xmms.
I'm currently logged with user:
[hipo@davidian info]$ id
uid=500(hipo) gid=500(hipo) groups=500(hipo) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t
[hipo@davidian info]$

Sorry but probably i'm mistaken. I'm not sure is this bug related to SELinux but
when the X crashed i saw some bulky logs from the SELinux on my console and that
gives me the idea the problem could be related to that. Anywayz checking my
/var/log/messages later i didn't discovered lines stating direct errors with
SELinux, just logs from the services it handles like crontab and stuff.

Comment 2 John (J5) Palmieri 2005-07-15 14:33:06 UTC
xmms has moved to fedora extras

Comment 3 Matthias Saou 2005-08-04 17:11:33 UTC
- Could you try to install the xmms package from Extras instead as you suggested
and try again?
- It would probably be interesting to check the /var/log/Xorg.* files too.

Anyway, I really doubt this is a bug in xmms, since no user applications should
be able to crash the X server (well, not if they aren't suid root or such).
Still, we need to get more information to be able to reassign the bug to the
right component.

Comment 4 Matthias Saou 2006-06-30 14:30:59 UTC
Reassigning to the current maintainer (Ville).

Comment 5 Ville Skyttä 2006-07-01 14:16:17 UTC
It's been almost a year since the request for additional info with no feedback,
so closing.  If the problem persists in FC5+, make sure that you are running
xmms from Fedora Extras, and try to obtain a stack trace as outlined in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces, and feel free to reopen.  Also, try
to reproduce with some of the fonts included in FC/FE.
