Description padovano 2004-05-24 13:21:41 UTC 
Version:           1.3.1 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.3-4mdk

open terminal emulator window from GUI in mandrake 10.0 community edition with 2.6 kernel
 type 
 su 
 and then the password... then type 
 showkey
 the whole GUI will crash... the whole system won't be responsive

This could be a dup of http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65127.

On the other hand, showkey is a horrendous program... the GUI will become very unusable and it is hard to get showkey to quit... yuck!

Explain what you mean when the 'whole GUI will crash'.  X/KDE crashes?
Comment 2 padovano 2004-06-12 12:25:50 UTC 
the system starts opening multiple windows and the system crashes...I don't know if in a multiple users environment a single user can crash the whole system this way but surely he steals a lot of resources and this is quite dangerous!!!

Does this also happen if you use "xterm" instead of "konsole"?

No answer.
