Description of problem: Each time I run a QT based application, upon exit I get the message: QClipboard: Unable to receive an event from the clipboard manager in a reasonable time Filing this under gnome-settings-daemon because some google searches seem to tell me that debian addressed this by a fix in that package. See this link: http://www.mail-archive.com/desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg488152.html Pls change the component if that's not right. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-settings-daemon-3.0.1-4.fc15.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install qt apoplication (I use lyx as example): yum install lyx 2. run lyx from terminal: $lyx 3. select File/Exit from menu Actual results: I get this error on terminal: QClipboard: Unable to receive an event from the clipboard manager in a reasonable time I get shell prompt only after several seconds Expected results: should exit immediately, get shell promt no errors on terminal Additional info:
Not sure if the referenced ubuntu bug is the same issue, since it involves gnome-settings-daemon crashing, and the patch for that has presumably been upstreamed for a long time, see also, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628526
To Comment 1: Which component is more appropriate then? The warning is printed by this library: /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4 from qt-x11 // That means application exits and we need to give clipboard // content to the clipboard manager. // First we check if there is a clipboard manager. if (XGetSelectionOwner(X11->display, ATOM(CLIPBOARD_MANAGER)) == XNone || !owner) return true; So for some reason, XGetSelectionOwner returns something different from XNone, but that does not respond then.
ok this does not appear gnome related after all, it's an xfce bug. Here is the description of the problem: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2011-05/msg00709.html Updated to xfce4-settings 4.8.2 which is now in updates and the problems's gone. Closing.
