------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-16 22:40 ------- Hi, When I first reported this problem, I thought it could have something to do with kde, but I now reproduced it in a pure qt application as the one attached. This application has a button that brings up an about dialog. If you compile it as it is (maybe run qmake to regenerate the Makefile), the dialog never shows up and metacity (gnome wm) becomes unresponsive. The only way to regain a working environment is to go to another console and successively skill the app and metacity. However, if in main.cpp you comment out line 8: a.setMainWidget(w); and replace it with line 10: a.connect( &a, SIGNAL( lastWindowClosed() ), &a, SLOT( quit() ) ); The application runs fine. Both versions work as intended under kde. Configuration: libqt3-devel-3.1.1-9mdk gnome-desktop-2.2.0.1-1mdk metacity-2.4.34-1mdk I hope the problem is now narrowed down enough for someone to have a look at it. Thank you in advance, ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Ok, this is not so simple to explain, so please bear with me as this is a real problem. If a KDE application contains a pop-up Qt QMessageBox object, this pop-up shows up correctly in KDE, but freezes X under GNOME. I attach a very simple KDE app containing an about button, that should trigger an about dialog. Run it under GNOME and click on the button (close any pending task before and be prepared to hit the backspace key). The same app written as a pure QT application does not exhibit the problem.
