After an upgrade to xorg-server-1.13.0-r1 both Gimp (2.6.12-r5) and Inkscape (0.48.3.1) crash the xorg-server when clicking into the drawing area. Steps to reproduce: Upgrade to xorg-server-1.13.0-r1 Start up The Gimp or Inkscape Click onto the canvas Result: xorg-server crashes and restarts (most times) or stays crashed Expected result: xorg-server does not crash and you can draw etc. in the programmes Reproducible: always Solution: Downgrade to the previous stable xorg-server (1.12.4) System information: Linux 3.5.7-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 9 14:27:29 CET 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Put the -ggdb into cflags and added FEATURES="splitdebug" into make.conf, but the Xorg.0.log still doesn't show anything enlightening. Do I need to run startx with gdb or something? Sorry, this is my first bug report (I think), definitely my first attempt at getting debugging info.
It might be that FEATURES="splitdebug" is not supported by X itself thus it does not know where to find these debug symbols, so either try removing that or run `gdb startx` (after which you type `run` and press enter) which should give you a better stacktrace. Or you can follow the upstream guidelines at http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ServerDebugging
So, let's assume that it's GTK+ related?
The x.org wiki contains the correct instructions on how to obtain a proper backtrace. Until that is provided I won't assume anything.
OK, did as the X.org wiki told and got this for the inkscape crash: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x000000000044a8da in ActivateKeyboardGrab (keybd=0x27f66c0, grab=0x29c5130, time=..., passive=0) at /home/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.0-r1/work/xorg-server-1.13.0/dix/events.c:1567 1567 /home/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.0-r1/work/xorg-server-1.13.0/dix/events.c: No such file or directory.

I can confirm this nasty bug too! Upon doing some searching online, the issue has something to do with the xorg-server input system, specifically, it was updated to a new implementation at some point a while back which has a bug with the touchpad (synaptics in my case) being disabled. Easy to reproduce on my Thinkpad W510. Login to Gnome/3, disable the touchpad using Fn+F8. Open either the GIMP (v2.6.12), or Inkscape (v0.48.4 r9939 (Dec 23 2012)), click anywhere in the document window, or select the magnifier tool and try to select a region. xorg-server crashes with: [ 817.186] (EE) Backtrace: [ 817.187] (EE) 0: /usr/bin/Xorg (xorg_backtrace+0x36) [0x59aa66] [ 817.187] (EE) 1: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x19e969) [0x59e969] [ 817.187] (EE) 2: /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x7f0da48f9000+0x10460) [0x7f0da4909460] [ 817.187] (EE) 3: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x4aa0a) [0x44aa0a] [ 817.187] (EE) 4: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x44344) [0x444344] [ 817.187] (EE) 5: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x12abde) [0x52abde] [ 817.187] (EE) 6: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x39c11) [0x439c11] [ 817.187] (EE) 7: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x2838a) [0x42838a] [ 817.187] (EE) 8: /lib64/libc.so.6 (__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f0da357b4bd] [ 817.187] (EE) 9: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x27ee9) [0x427ee9] [ 817.187] (EE) [ 817.187] (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x28 Then when I re-login, and enable the touchpad with Fn+F8, then open GIMP or Inksapce doing the test as above, the actions do not crash xorg-server. I couldn't find any Gentoo specific information about the bug other than this report and one other which is a duplicate of this issue: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430070 However I did find quite a few Ubuntu users reporting the same issue as far back as July 5th, 2012. It seems from this bug tracker report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1021517 ... that the issue was resolved by reverting back to the older input system. I don't think this is a critical bug, but it's annoying to keep the touchpad enabled with I'm at my desk.
Some grab related fixes have made it into git master recently. Maybe you could check them out, especially this one: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=f793b5fd3eb16a2ada130367c2ffebeede69a322
Created attachment 333174 [details, diff] Combination patch of recent Xi/dix 'grab' commits from upstream. Combination of patches from: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/log/?id=f793b5fd3eb16a2ada130367c2ffebeede69a322&qt=grep&q=grab From 2012-10-10 to 2012-12-17.
Thanks for the quick reply! I tried the patch you supplied with a direct link but the issue remained. I searched the commit logs for 'grab' and scanning through the top 10 or so, found: dix: fix crash on shutdown if a disabled device is still grabbed (XI1 grab) http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=4b7f00346daed20c96f3e8ea13ae411858a5424b The description sounded promising, but that didn't fix the issue either. I then combined all patches in reverse chronological order from the above patch to the most recent, and it worked! I quickly eye-balled the patches, and one hunk failed to apply. I've attaching my working diff for reference/testing... Thanks again for the tip and happy holidays!
Most of the patches are part of xorg-server-1.13.1 which has just been committed. Marking as FIXED, please reopen if you still see this bug.
