Description of problem: Compiz crashes randomly on EINTR system calls.

Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

It crashed again today during `yum update`. I paid close attention to see when it crashes: it happened while selinux-policy-targeted was being updated (those ***s take a while).
Do you have sealert running? What type of SELinux enforcement you have? could we get (as private attachment) your /var/log/audit/audit.log as well, please?
SELinux was running in permissive mode. I'm attaching the log. Beware that some denials are due to some programs I'm using that are not shipped with Fedora. In particular, you shouldn't care about the following two types of denials: "SELinux is preventing ip (ifconfig_t) "read write" to socket (initrc_t)" "SELinux is preventing the dhclient (dhcpc_t) from binding to port 7912."
Created attachment 310847 [details] audit.log BTW, I couldn't find the option to make the attachment private.
OK, it has apparently nothing to do with SELinux -- you are affected by bug 448060 (for which the fix is in the pipeline), but I don't see anything else.
Woohoo not my bug.
It crashed again today while I was doing an update. I mindlessly clicked on the shiny default button, and here is what I've got: Jul 3 21:47:27 localhost kernel: compiz[2651]: segfault at 5d97564 ip 03ea5c69 sp bfacbe00 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.3[3e6c000+e0000] Glib was amongst the packages that got updated. So, it looks like compiz does not like libraries changing while it's running.
Just a heads-up on this. I didn't experience anymore crashes on 'yum update' recently, but it seems that recent updates did not touch libraries on which compiz depends either.
Another crash today, this time not related to any updating. I was starting fontmatrix when compiz crashed with: Jul 18 17:37:45 localhost kernel: compiz[2580]: segfault at 0 ip 008faf24 sp bfc 946d0 error 4 in libstartup-notification-1.so.0.0.0[8f7000+8000]
I found a reliable way to crash it: "rpm -e dasher".

No, it works perfectly fine without it. It just crashed when I *removed* dasher. From all the semi-random crashes it seems that compiz is somehow too sensitive to stuff getting installed or removed while it is running. I've not seen this happen with other daemons, so I don't know what could the underlying reason...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
