Description Shlomi Fish 2010-06-30 04:24:00 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

On Mandriva Cooker with KDE-4.5.x-beta, whenever I change the widget style in the systemsettings, then the entire X-Windows system hangs. My system's specs are:

<<<<
My primary machine is a desktop machine with a:

    * Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz CPU.
    * 2.5 GB of RAM.
    * An ATI Radeon HD 2600 card.
    * One 160 GB Hard-disk and two smaller ones of 80 GB or so.
    * A 19" LCD Screen by ViewSonic.
    * A standard built-in AC'97 sound-card.
>>>>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type systemsettings from the command-line.

2. Change the widget style from Oxygen to cleanlooks or back.

Actual Results:  
The entire X-Windows system hangs. The mouse cursor still moves, but it doesn't affect anything. I can only Ctrl+Alt+Backspace the env to exit it.

Expected Results:  
The widget style should be changed and the environment proceed as normal.

Do you have Desktop Effects enabled?

Also, does switching the graphics driver in use ( eg: to vesa ) change this?

Yes, I do have desktop effects enabled.

I didn't try.

Can you reproduce with Desktop Effects disabled? Also, which graphics card do you have?

With desktop effects disabled everything works fine and I cannot reproduce this bug. And as I noted, I have an ATI Radeon 2600 Pro graphics card and I'm using the "radeon" ("video-ati") driver.

Please file a bug with the driver maintainer, it is a bug in the X driver you are using.
