The Qt developers examined the problem and suggested a workaround, but also proved that the problem is indeed in cairo-dock. This problem isn't fixed yet, so I think this bug should not be closed, much less being marked as invalid. The possible workaround requires the user to load cairo-dock in a way that's not easy for the average user and such workaround should not be needed any way. Cairo-dock needs to be fixed.
This is the workaround suggested by Qt people (see http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5464): "The bug is NOT in Qt. The reason is that something in cairo-dock or its supporting libs sets a custom colormap - on the root window... The proper workaround is NOT to disable ARGB clients (this would eg. break plasma or translucent UI styles) but to remove the property once cairo-dock has started and (if possible) before anything else starts up. xprop -root -remove RGB_DEFAULT_MAP" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475375 Title: Can't play videos in kaffeine, dragon player, gwenview and smplayer using the "xv" driver after running cairo-dock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-core/+bug/475375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
