Description Roman Fietze 2004-05-07 11:40:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When closing "Tip of the Day" using the WM's close button at the moment that window appears, kdevelop pops up a warning dialog that this window is not responding and gives me the "chance" to exit kdevelop for a few seconds. When I wait for these seconds without clicking anywhere the warning dialog disappears and kdevelop comes up w/o problems.

Kdevelop Version 3.0.2 and 3.0.3. Sorry, forgot to specify that when opening the bug.

Can't reproduce. Does this really happen every time? What kind of machine is it? (CPU, RAM)

Btw, it's KWin, not KDevelop that shows that dialog. It shouldn't happen in normal circumstances, but can happen if lack of RAM has an app swapped out. This should be true of any dialog in any app, not just KDevelop.

Reproduced it on the following machine:

- relatively new HP 2.8GHz PC with 1GB RAM
- SuSE 9.0 out of the box
- Kernel 2.4.26 with backported GBit Ethernet driver
- KDE 3.2.2 from SuSE RPM's including kdevelop 3.0.3
- X Server on the console

Only saw that with kdevelop 3.0.3 (and I think with 3.0.2 as well), no
other KDE or non KDE app, even on a very loaded box. Repeatable 100%
using the display mode with seperate X11 windows for every display
plus the kontrol window. Maybe I can create a snapshot of that
situation and add it to the bug if it's worth the bandwidth and disk
space and if it's required or requested.

You can increase the timeout value in kwinrc, group Windows, key KillPingTimeout, value is in ms, 0 for disabling. Other than that, there's nothing that can be done - the app is not responding, so it's not responding. KWin has no crystal ball to find out it's just way too busy.
