I assume it is my setup since I cannot find it duplicated in the forums. I run: E16 - ebuilt ESD - ebuilt Alsa - ebuilt GTK+1.2 - ebuilt XFree 4.2.0 - ebuilt (no opengl) So far - all I have compiled this go around to test.. All of the gaim ebuilds have exhibited this problem for me under E. I have not run under any other WMs to test. Using ESD as audio plugin for it, it will run for weeks, but once I close it, it crashes the XServer with Xlib: Unexpected async reply messages.. I can take the same tarball, use the same options from the ebuild to configure it - compile and install it - and it runs fine though. Very strange problem that took me a while to track down, but is easily reproducable now. -G
Hmmm... No idea. Guess we should start by seeing if Gaim 0.59.4 still does it for you or if the problem has gone "away"? What are your CFLAG/CXXFLAGs and what is your USE?
gaim 0.59.5 is out now too
Sorry - thought my email would make it straight to this list, but it dindn't. Turns out that E or esd seems to be the problem. I have recently started using Gimp as well, and it can sometimes cause the same Xserver crashes and errors. Since both apps are GTK, I assume that has something to do with it, but cannot tell for sure. I have E16, GTK-1.x, gdk-pixbuf, gtk-theme-switch, and gtk-engines-pixmap installed. I am running XMMS through esd in E. In my original message, I stated that Gaim only crashed Xserver when i closed it - which is true, but Gimp crashes Xserver at random when editing images (even while Gaim is closed). Running fluxbox with all of the same programs never has a problem though. Since Fluxbox has no audio support per se, I still run esd like in E.

Sorry, can't really help you out on this one... could be a kernel, X server, compiler, or glibc bug or flakey hardware :( If you are able to track it down more please let us know.
