It might be a xfce-4.4.2/wacom issue. After removing the wacom lines for my graphic tablet from xorg.conf xfce is coming up correctly. I'm using linuxwacom-0.7.6.4-3.fc7
Interesting. This worked ok with 4.4.1? Can you do the following: - run 'yum install yum-utils' then 'debuginfo-install xfce-mcs-manager xfce-mcs-plugins' - Then reproduce the crash again and paste in the new backtrace here. Thanks for the report!
Created attachment 289789 [details] .xsession-errors
Yes it worked fine with 4.4.1. I installed the debug files and attached the ~/.xsession-errors.
Can you try updating with a test package at: http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/xfce-mcs-plugins/xfce-mcs-plugins-4.4.2-2.fc7.i386.rpm and see if that fixes the issue?
Thanks for your help. I still get the same error. Shall I post the current ~/.xsession-errors (apparently only addresses have changed)?
Thanks for testing. Can you try: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora/xfce-mcs-plugins/xfce-mcs-plugins-4.4.2-2.fc7.i386.rpm This is a new version with another patch from upstream. Someone else seeing the same problem said it fixed things for them. If you can test and let me know how it goes that would be great!
It works! Thanks a lot :)
Excellent. I am going to push out an update for this to F-7/F-8/rawhide. This updated version will be the same as the one you are testing...so if you want to use the official signed update you will need to replace that package on your local machine. Thanks for reporting this!
