Description Tim Mohlmann 2011-06-09 09:05:55 UTC
When using any of the icons in the upper taskbar, gnome-shell crashes with a segfault.

Using activities and the drop-down menu containing your name (and all it's options) work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in using GDM
2. Click the volume-, nm-applet-, power- or the little man icon with any mousebuttom
3. Gnome respawns giving a segfault in the logs
4. If you'd click again shortly after you will presented with the "Oops something went wrong, you have to log out" message. (But errors in log remain the same)
Actual Results:  
gnome-shell crashes with following messages in /var/log/messages:

Expected Results:  
Provide a menu/options for used icons

It does not matter which progams are being run, it happens when running firefox, terminal banshee etc, but it also happens running only the gnome session.

Comment 2 Tim Mohlmann 2011-06-09 09:24:48 UTC
Time / calender also seems to work fine. Is there a possibility gnome-shell tries to draw something outside the display and mesa/radeon does not accept that?

I've got a similar thing running qemu under KDE: if the window adjusts automatically to the client's display size and it's bigger then my display, it crashes. Usually I catch that by maximizing the window, so it won't resize automatically.

Problem doesn't appear any more in latest 3.2.1 in tree.
