Description Martin Mai 2010-01-19 09:06:29 UTC 
Originally reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/467862:

Trying to e.g. drag a file on the second display (:0.1) leads to a nautilus crash:

The program 'nautilus' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 534504 error_code 8 request_code 142 minor_code 2)

Doing the same actions on the primary display is no problem. On :0.1 however it happens on icons on the desktop as well as in a separate nautilus window.

Ubuntu 9.10 (upgraded from Jaunty, which had other issues with the seconds screen but no nautilus crash)

Odd, we push an error trap around the key-grabbing code in gtkdnd.c, and it works reliably in my testing.

i'm also tracking the bug cause i've the same trouble, and there exists some bugzilla entrys related to the problem.

The problem is gone for me. Dragging icons in Nautilus on the second screen (left of main screen) works now as expected. This may be related to a recent fix of X.orgs handling of negative coordinates (though that bug mentioned Xinerama which i do not use). I guess the bug can be closed.

Ubuntu Lucid, Gnome 2.30.2

Does anybody still see this problem in 3.4 or 3.2?
