It seems to happen when there are no windows open, and when the "show window list when switching windows" option is activated. *** Bug 124524 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** On my Fedora Core 4 box, since I upgraded KDE to 3.5.2 (kdebase-3.5.2-1.0.fc4.kde ), Kwin also crashes when I use the Alt-TAB key to switch windows. Below is the backtrace I got. Here are my window setting: Desktop/Window behavior/Navigation Show window list while switching windows ON Traverse windows on all desktops ON Desktop navigation wraps around OFF Popup desktop name on desktop switch OFF Notice that Kwin doesn't crash if I disable "Show window list while switching windows". So, as a workaround for now, I just disabled it. Hope it will help. David (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

After upgrading kwin with this patch, I get weird behaviour: alt+tab no longer causes crashes, but no longer is useless: when a window is minimized, it is not concidered by alt+tab as available (so e.g. 10 windows minimized->alt+tab gives "no windows" message). >"no longer is useless"
sorry, I ment "no longer is useful"
For me this patch solves the crash, but the issue that only windows from the currently active desktop are shown although the option "Traverse windows on all desktops" is activated in kcontrol, still remains. Any suggestions? I updated the patch accordingly. *** Bug 124817 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Dirk, I have the updated patch applied. But the issue persists. Not being comfortable with the KDE code base, might be the change from readNumEntry to readBoolEntry be the problem (with existing configuration data)? *** Bug 124816 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Applied the updated patch, too. But I'm still not able to browse through all windows. No change noticeable since the last patch... *** Bug 124826 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 126209 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 126214 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** After upgrading to kdebase-3.5.2-0.2.fc5 (with yum) last weekend, I have the same problem (No windows form other Desktops and crash on double-alt-tab if only one window is shown) *** Bug 126516 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 127278 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 127710 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 127748 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 128092 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 128927 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 131749 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 139934 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
