[Bug 67794] Re: X unusable

2006-10-24 Thread Despair
It is one issue, arising from multiple bugs. The individual bugs are
hard to replicate seperately, but in combination lock up gnome-session
100% of the time on my machine. The issue is the bug interaction. At
least that was my tired reasoning for dropping all 4 bugs into 1 report.
The Xmodmap popup by itself is just a minor annoyance, though the
automagic finding of all might-be-modmap configs is very odd, seems
liable to be an unnecessary slowdown to gnome startup.

I'll try to get a backtrace later today.

You wind up with a blank white window, a movable mouse cursor, and nothing you 
can do. Doesn't reach loading keybindings, and nothing is clickable.
I was unable to try any applications while launching a gnome session from gdm.
With both of those config files installed (or renamed and being found 
anyways... ugh) I had to launch a KDE session to be able to do anything at all.

For applications I tried gnome-terminal, gaim, xchat and gnome-control-
center. xchat  gaim would sometimes lock up independently of others.
Sometimes everything went at once. Erratic behavior, very exciting.

[Bug 67794] X unusable

2006-10-23 Thread Despair
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

~/.fonts.conf makes gnome-settings-daemon freeze up, which causes most gnome 
applications to render as white noninteractive boxes.
~/.Xmodmap pops up a dialog asking whether it should be loaded every gnome 
startup.
The combination blocks launching of launcher apps, or anything later in gnome. 
When not using gnome-session, it's sometimes possible to kill 
gnome-settings-daemon  start it again a couple of times and eventually it may 
work, and gnome applications executed afterwards will run, but crash randomly.

Without .Xmodmap, no dialog during early startup, so it sometimes starts
apps successfully but is unstable. Possibly a race in g-s-d?

This is very frustrating, as I use custom settings in fonts.conf for
non-gnome apps, and they work fine... I use equivalent settings in the
font properties in gnome.

Other really fun bit is that renaming .Xmodmap to DOTXmodmap, gnome
continued to find it and ask if I wanted to load it. Finally had to hide
it in a subdirectory to make it stop popping up a dialog during early
startup...

[Bug 59970] ekiga audio plugin death

2006-09-11 Thread Despair
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ekiga

On amd64 edgy, executing ekiga pops a window stating:
No usable audio plugin detected
Ekiga didn't find a usable audio plugin. Make sure that your installation is 
correct.
Only button is OK, which it is very far from.

Hitting OK ends ekiga, after a 4 second or so pause.
Audio works for all other apps.
