Bug#385958: gnome-session: Startup fails with my configuration

2006-09-04 Thread Heikki Kantola
Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.14.3-1
Severity: important

There is something weird happening when I attempt to start GNOME with 
my session settings (included below), namely the startup begins
normally and then kaboom the session ends prematurely and I am
returned to the login manager (or shell where startx was invoked).
My prime suspect for this behaviour is the fact that I am using
two display setup without Xinerama and therefor there has to be two
instances of my favourite window manager FVWM (currently from Debian
package fvwm-gnome 2.5.17-1) and given that there has already been 
reports on that gnome-session fails to launch multiple instances of 
xterm, my problems may be related to that. I've tried with another
user account, where the window manager is sawfish and there seems to
be no problem. Also on a laptop I manage to run the very same GNOME 
and FVWM versions fine, but there I have just one screen, so the 
problem most likely has something to do with my desktop dualhead X 
configuration.

It looks like "just another libxklavier crash"...

Question 1: after that happens, is there a trace of a crash
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old ?

Question 2: what if you run:
gconftool-2 -- recursive-unset 
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/bell_custom_file

I checked and yes, there is a trace of crash. Relevant parts of that
log seem to be:

SetKbdSettings - type: -1 rate: 30 delay: 500 snumlk: 0

Did so, quit the on-going session and logged in again and the session
startup still fails the same way as earlier. :(

Looks like a bug with your X11 driver. Here are some workarounds you can
try:
  * use EXA acceleration instead of XAA. See
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ExaStatus for hints on how to do it.
  * Disable the UseFBDev option if it is enabled.

Please add all relevant information (lspci output, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and /var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug.

Isn't FVWM able to handle both screens at once?

I'm handing this to the X guys.
