Description Ali Ranalvi 2009-12-07 10:50:57 UTC 
Steps for reproducing the bug:
1. Start gnometris.
2. Open Settings > Preferences.
3. The Preferences form has 3 tabs namely "Game", "Controls" and "Theme"; of these initially the "Game" tab is activated.
4. Click on either "Controls" or "Theme" tab. Do not change any settings on this tab.
5. Click "Close".

This closes the gnometris application. Is this expected behaviour?

Even if an application restart is necessary (in case of change of preferences), the user should be prompted that the new settings will take effect after restart and if (s)he wishes to do that now?

Yes I can confirm this

fabio@OptimusPrime:~/repositorio/gnome/git/gnome-games$ gnometris 
do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try adjusting the vblank_mode configuration parameter.

The program 'gnometris' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 146 error_code 3 request_code 10 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.)

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

Comment 3 Ali Ranalvi 2009-12-08 02:48:52 UTC 
This could be marked as a duplicate, but I do wish to point out a few subtle differences:

1. Bug#596554 is caused by closing using the "X" button, whereas I have observed this on the use of the "Close" button.
2. Bug#596554 observes the behaviour on "Theme" page only, whereas I have observed the crashing on both the "Theme" and "Controls" tab.

Just FYI.

This bug is being reassigned to the "quadrapassel" component so we can close the gnometris bugzilla component.  Apologies for the mass email!
