Xpra start log

Version:           4.0 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to start xpra http://xpra.devloop.org.uk via "xpra start :25", xpra will spawn the Xvfb process but will exit right after that.

Attaching output and strace output

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 armin.kazmi 2011-05-31 19:06:02 UTC 
Just wanted to mention.. if you change the gtk theme to something else, e.g. qtcurve, xpra will start just fine.
Comment 3 Ruslan Kabatsayev 2011-05-31 19:26:07 UTC 
Could you try what is told in the first log (about X error) and get the stack trace of crash?
Comment 4 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2011-06-01 09:57:09 UTC 
@Ruslan
I suspect mismatch between GdkScreen/display for which we create some atoms, and the one associated to widgets on which we use it. I'm adding more debug info about this, but indeed the "--sync" option might help.

possible patch

@Ruslan, Armin

I managed to have xpra running on my system (once proper python module have been in installed; and could reproduce the crash.

Attached patch fixes it for me, but I want more testing (for other apps) before pushing.

Arlin: can you confirm that xpra starts normally if you apply the patch to oxygen-gtk ? (patch -p0 < oxygen-gtk-xpra.patch, and then recompile).

Ruslan: could you also give a shot to the patch.

The technical details: 
the X BadAtom error was generated in gtk_widget_realize, for the "dummy" widget used by us to create our RefSurface. After some playing around, I decided to get rid of this dummy widget, and use the "RootWindow" of the "default screen" to create the surface. I 'think' it is safe, and have not seen any regression on normal apps. Would be cool if you people could confirm.

Thanks in advance,

Hugo

Comment 7 Hugo Pereira Da Costa 2011-06-01 16:08:21 UTC 
ok. After talking to Ruslan, I pushed the patch. So ignore comment #5 and just give a shot at latest oxygen-gtk from git.
Comment 8 Ruslan Kabatsayev 2011-07-29 23:43:08 UTC 
Since there haven't been any comments after fix, i close this.
