Description of problem: With xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.15.20080107.fc9 and xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.196-6.fc9 in place attempts to start nautilus end up as follows: The program 'nautilus' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'. (Details: serial 266 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0) (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 --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) An output in ~/.xsession-errors starts with Xlib: extension "XEVIE" missing on display ":0.0". line and no idea if this is somewhat relevant to the problem. As an aside - I really do not know how to run nautilus "with the --sync command line option" as it gets started by gnome-session, I guess, with an impressive array of cryptic command line options. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.21.2-1.fc9 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.1-0.15.20080107.fc9 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.196-6.fc9 How reproducible: always
That actually may be another manifestation of bug 375131. See in particular comment #24 there. With FontPath set to "built-ins" in xorg.conf nautilus starts again.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
