Hi Ethan,
I assume that you're using Songbird 0.7.0 from the /release(or /dev) repository. How about the 1.0.0 release: http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Articles/Builds/Contributed_Builds? Is the error still reproducible? Songbird doesn't call X related function as I check. It's possible that specific version of cairo in XULRunner (which Songbird 0.7.0 depends on) has some problem interacting with X on certain hardware. Some updates have been applied to the 1.0.0 release and you might want to have a try. Actually I'm using the 1.0.0 release tarball on OpenSolaris 2008.11 and it works fine. BTW, can you reproduce the problem with the bundled version of Firefox 3.0.4? The XULRunner platform Firefox and Songbird are built on are similar. And Firefox links with the system cairo with some patches applied. I'm also curious whether this could be the cause. Thanks, -Alfred
