GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 448724
Gimp crashes when using a Painbrush tool or similar
Last modified: 2008-01-15 14:12:30 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. File, New, ok, 2. select a pencil, paintbrush or similar 3. try to paint, and it crashes sooner or later, mostly sooner, with the following message: Stack trace: xxxxx@xxxxx ~/projekte/bilder $ gimp This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here. The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 26493 error_code 3 request_code 39 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) xxxxx@xxxxx ~/projekte/bilder $ (script-fu:8455): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error Other information: OS: Linux x86-64-2.6.21-gentoo
Your copy of XLib is broken. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 445376 ***
The Bug that obviously was a duplicate used XLib 1.12 I updated to XLib 1.14, it got me the same crash with slighly different addresses. (script-fu:7168): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error Which XLib do you think is appropriate?
This bug has been fixed upstream a week ago or something. So any libx11 version released earlier should be considered suspicious. I am closing this bug again, since it is pretty likely that this still is a buggy version. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 445376 ***
