Comment 2 Paul W. Frields 2010-01-24 21:54:28 UTC
Are you using the most recent version of python-xlib available in the updates-testing repository?  Run 'yum list installed python-xlib' to find your current version.  If you are not running 0.14-6.fc12, run this command to test the update:

su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update python-xlib'

Comment 3 Alexey Kuznetsov 2010-01-24 22:55:16 UTC
k i did it.

Comment 4 Paul W. Frields 2010-01-25 12:28:23 UTC
Does using the newer python-xlib fix the problem?

Comment 5 Alexey Kuznetsov 2010-01-25 13:10:07 UTC
this one yes

Comment 8 John Poelstra 2010-06-04 15:41:27 UTC
Just saw this crash on Fedora 13 i686 istanbul-0.2.2-14.fc13.i686

Comment 9 Jef Spaleta 2010-06-04 16:36:53 UTC
John:
If you set the environment variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before running istanbul from a terminal..does the crash go away?

Open a new bug please and attach the crash report. 

Please include:
whether setting the environment variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 fixes it.
what desktop environment
if you have desktop effects enabled
if you are using an alternative window manager (ie gnome-shell) 
if this was under a virtual machine .  


I have multiple open crash situations in istanbul in F13  which are related to how the application is using python-xlib in F13 which are unrelated to this particular Fedora 12 bug report.

Istanbul should run run fine in a non-virtualized stock gnome environment.

The change to gtk/gdk client windows introduced in F12 plays havoc with pygtk applications which are also using python-xlib.  I suspect that in reality python-xlib is no longer compatibility with gtk's client-side window and operational failures are only going to be avoidable is applications rip the python-xlib code out and use the correct gdk/gtk functions instead.
 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.21/gtk-migrating-ClientSideWindows.html


Luckily there are only a few of them. Unfortunately istanbul is one of them. Doubly unfortunate that python-xlib is in a nearly dead upstream state at the moment.

Comment 26 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 16:46:41 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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

Comment 27 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 14:50:42 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
