Hide Forgot
gimp-2.6.11-8.fc16.x86_64 gtk2-2.24.3-1.fc15.x86_64 Some operations, like adding a guide or trying to move a layer, cause the UI to freeze in an odd way. All of the widgets in all Gimp windows become totally unresponsive, but still repaint. Most strangely, the paralysis often also applies to, for example, terminal windows and firefox. Can't even drag them around by the title bar, but minimize and maximize (and close) still work. If I switch virtual desktops and back (under XFCE), though, suddenly everything works again.
I should add that "by everything works again", I mean the GUI is again responsive. I still can't add guides, so this is a fairly serious show-stopper kind of problem.
As the behavior kind of indicates, this appears to be a desktop-environment problem. I can't reproduce under Gnome Shell or under Openbox.
Odd. Can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log from a session thats showing it, and also ~/.xsession-errors? Can you determine any pattern to when it goes unresponsive?

Yeah, in a few minutes. > Can you determine any pattern to when it goes unresponsive? It is 100% reproducible on two entirely-different Rawhide systems — open an image, and try to drag a guide from one of the rulers. Can you not reproduce?
Any chance to attach those logs? ;) I don't have a rawhide box here running X... ;( I don't see this in f15.
Created attachment 487970 [details] Xorg.0.log
Created attachment 487971 [details] lots of errors, but I think mostly irrelevant Nothing looks interesting to me here :(
Still happening, latest rawhide. I'm not sure what to blame, unfortunately. :(
moving away my `~/.gimp-2.6` directory doesn't help, btw.
Does making a complely new user and logging in as them show the issue? (Ie, that might tell us if it's system wide or login based).
It was system-wide. But, whatever it was, the problem is gone in current rawhide.
