Description Joe Mills 2006-03-15 09:58:44 UTC
When a new message comes in to Kopete it pops a message box up "from" the taskbar icon letting the user know a new message has come in.  When I click that notification it crashes my X server.  I am using the transparancy and drop shadows kde provides (KDE 3.4.3 & Xorg 6.8.2-r6).  I am not using any plugins (that were not in the default config).

Steps to reproduce.
1. Get a taskbar notification from Kopete.
2. Click it or the taskbar icon.
3. X server crashes.

Reproducable: Always

Composite is experimental software, if that's what you're using, this problem is more likely to be relied to X11 (and then relied on "don't use experimental software").

I remember such crashes but only when using nvidia's proprietary driver (ati's opensource driver on PPC had no problem at all).

It'd be nice to know if this is still a problem on X 7.0, when you get around to upgrading to it.  It wouldn't surprise me if composite is at fault - as Diego said, it's quite experimental in 6.8.2.

For what I've seen here, the crash with Xorg 7 is not yet fixed, but as I said the problem seems to be with nvidia proprietary drivers, at least for me.
Same Xorg version, same Kopete version in the iBook works as a charm with composite.

It happened to me once, but only when I had composite enabled.
Also using the nvidia-kernel drivers here.
It was enough reason not to use composite. ;)

Ah, have you tried turning off "RenderAccel" (if it's on)?
Comment 6 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-28 14:16:39 UTC
Okay considering that we don't have access to nvidia-glx sources, I think this is a CANTFIX for now.
Comment 7 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-28 19:38:40 UTC
No, it's upstream. Locations exist to file bugs with nvidia drivers.
Comment 8 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-28 19:39:12 UTC
Please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product, drivers/nvidia (proprietary) component.
