Description of problem: When using gnome-shell's Activities menu and other parts of the gnome-shell that utilize graphics acceleration, menus flicker, icons don't appear, and eventually, gnome-shell crashes requiring the user to log out. An automatic bug report is unable to be filed due to the nature of the Guest account. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.2.1-1.fc16 How reproducible: Use gnome-shell under a guest account created by xguest. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install xguest 2.Log into the guest account created by xguest 3.Attempt to access the Activities menu Actual results: Flickering menu, missing icons, gnome-shell crashes Expected results: Activities menu arrives without issue and displays all icons. gnome-shell continues to run Additional info: Creating a password for the guest account appears to reduce the flickering, but does not affect the other issues
The bug may also have something to do with the SELinux policy for xguest.
The crash is alleviated by executing: setsebool -P allow_xguest_exec_content on
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
