Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I'm not sure if this is directly connected to KDE but rather xserver, and there seem to be a lot of bugs like that out there, so it's probably a duplicate. Anyway: Whenever I try to use a non-KDE application under Kubuntu Intrepid, it crashes as soon as I click on the menu. This problem exists since dist-upgrade. reproduced several times for gimp, evince, rkward, gthumb bash output for gimp, similar for the others: The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 25362 error_code 2 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
What GTK style are you using ? Maybe "gtk-qt-engine" ? If you were using it, try choosing another GTK style, or uninstalling the GTK-Qt engine. Anyways, that style is not part of official KDE. Does RKWard also crash? It is a KDE app. If it crashes too, can you post the crash message here? Thanks
cool, uninstalling gtk-qt-engine solved the problem for the other apps (though they look a bit ugly now). I got a bit confused, the Rkward error is similar (crashes whenever I try to select something from the menu), but actually different, and therefor mentioning rkward in this report was wrong. It crashes with a message : The support file "/home/john/rkward/phpfiles/common.php" could not be found or is not readable. Please check your installation.

It crashes > with a message : Yes.. they are completely different problems, you had a GTK problem that crashed all the GTK apps when using the gtk-qt-engine.. And now you have a problem with RKWARD However, RKWard isn't supported in this bugtracker. You need to file a bug report at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=50231&atid=459007 Thanks!
BTW: this may be related/duplicate of http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2690602&group_id=50231&atid=459007
thanx i guess this bug is now closed ;-)
