Description marat 2004-12-27 00:13:31 UTC
see below

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start xfce
2. run mozilla


Actual Results:  
mozilla starts up ok and connects to remote sites ok,
but "vanishes" as soon as the remote site starts sending
data back.

if I run mozilla in a terminal window, I get messages that
like this one :

$ mozilla
Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  serial 8559 error_code 3 request_code 2 minor_code 0

Comment 1 Brad Cowan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-02 09:48:17 UTC
works for me
Comment 2 marat 2005-01-03 16:33:01 UTC
The mozilla that I am talking about is

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.5/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.7.5-installer.tar.gz

Is this the mozilla that works for you with xfce4 on gentoo?

Of the WMs I have installed on my gentoo system,
this "official" mozilla binary works for me with xfce(3) and blackbox
but not with gnome or xfce4 or windowmaker.

The same binary also works (on the same machine) with xfce4 on slackware10
and (on a different machine) with xfce4 on fedora rc3.

Try rebuilding the windowmanager component of XFCE4 with -O2 rather than -Os.
Comment 4 Luu Danh Hieu 2005-08-29 06:41:22 UTC
I can run mozilla (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.11)
Gecko/20050824) fine on xfce4 (latest stable) ... but when I switch to another
virtual desktop and comes back, it displays weird trailing characters, and need
me to click on another tab to make it display normal again.

Just signaling this ... if it has any relation ...
