kwin --replace in terminal

Comment 1 lucas 2008-07-23 13:28:48 UTC

If someone could create an English summary of that thread it would be a great help. Guessing dualhead mode, quite possibly a misconfiguration of X as the keyboard isn't working.

Comment 2 Jaap van Wingerde 2008-07-23 20:47:16 UTC

Dualhead mode indeed. With Gnome everything is fine. Also after "kwin --replace" in a terminal. So it is no misconfiguration of X.

Comment 3 Jaap van Wingerde 2008-07-28 22:36:39 UTC

Synaptic installed Debian testing package kwin version 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-4. The problem is not solved.

Comment 4 lucas 2008-07-29 01:35:40 UTC

I think I'm getting this problem. It's not that it's not starting, KWin is starting but it crashes with a QVector assert the moment a window is displayed on it.

Comment 5 Jaap van Wingerde 2008-08-07 14:03:53 UTC

Problem not solved with Debian testing (Lenny) package kwin version 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5.

Comment 11 lucas 2008-12-22 03:12:13 UTC

Keeping open until I can confirm.

Comment 12 Christos Gourdoupis 2008-12-23 23:01:27 UTC

The bug is still there in 3.5.10 (openSUSE 11.1, released 2008-12-18) 
I've been getting it for some months. At least since 11.0 (with KDE 3.5.9).

Comment 13 Nick Shaforostoff 2011-02-21 14:45:39 UTC

can this KDE3 bug be closed now?

Comment 14 Martin Flöser 2011-05-13 17:58:03 UTC

This should be fixed with 299a78772b823d28cf3c48aff696cfb978d0ae7e
