Distribution: "openSUSE 12.3 Milestone 0 (x86_64)"

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

Steps to reproduce:
Select one of the themes from kde-look (i could trigger this with most or all aurorae themes) for deco -->
Decorations don't get drawn -->
kwin --replace & -->
crash & decos are now visible

The crash can be reproduced every time.

Hah?
I've git master but kwin --version says:

Qt: 4.8.3
KDE Development Platform: 4.9.2
KWin: 4.9.1

-> what version (git commit hash?) is that actually?

-> KWin exits because some other WM is started -> sounds like a follow up crash. Do you have the backtrace from the instance that runs (and crashes?) when you install a deco?

I can't reproduce the issue as clear after i logged out. However i can reproduce crash every time when using oxygen decos (the ones from kdeartwork/ but who would want do use those :-) )

Gonna attach kdebug output when runnng kwin --replace. There's no other WM running, except kwin :-)

Could you please elaborate on that? There's only one oxygen decoration (and oxygen-transparent, but that's not exaclty oxygen either)

Also whyt do you mean by "using", you set oxygen as decoration and then load an aurorae theme via GHNS (into the local storage, not even actually using it) and then get a crash with that backtrace (which says "kwin currently shuts down")?

This is the one:
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeartwork/aurorae/Oxygen/

> Also whyt do you mean by "using", you set oxygen as decoration and then load

1) Load deco
2) Restart kwin
3) restart it again
4) crash
Note that steps 2 & 3 were only done cause deco's didn't get drawn, now that they are, those steps are done only to trigger the crash. Crash itself happens either (sometimes) after a first restart, and always after the second one.
Once it crashes, you can get after every kwin restart (every other restart triggers a crash, you even don't have to change the deco). 
Then, if you change the deco back to kde-workspace's oxygen, restart kwin you get one more crash, but then all the next restarts of kwin don't cause it to crash.
Comment 6 Thomas Lübking 2012-10-08 19:01:51 UTC
Ok, the bottom line here is that kwin crashes on "kwin --replace&" and that might loosely be tied to the used decoration?
(i've actually recently observed occasional restart crashes myself; using bespin, though. sometimes needed up to 5 attempts to get it running)

Yes. 
Sorry if the title is confusing, i'm not a native english speaker, so i can't express exactly what i mean
Comment 8 Martin Flöser 2012-12-29 09:17:46 UTC
are you still able to reproduce?
Comment 9 Thomas Lübking 2012-12-29 11:29:46 UTC
For bespin the reason was that it used to trigger a refonfigure via dbus to fix borders with compositor changes (1px cosmetic border for an outline, atm. needs deco reconstruction - i'd have altered the API for 4.10, but fear ubuntu ;-) what caused trouble with the threaded startup.
Delaying those calls (by a second) mostly fixed it (but for some systems on session starts)

It's not happened ever since then, but acquiring the dbus service from kuniqueapplicatin via --replace fails every other time (what means all the time, since every other time, there's simply no conflicting service)

New crash information added by DrKonqi

kwin (4.10.60 "release 11") on KDE Platform 4.10.60 "release 11" using Qt 4.8.5

- What I was doing when the application crashed:

Looks like i'm still able to reproduce it, in a same way as originally reported.
Backtrace looks *slightly* different, so i'm sending it ;-)

Comment 11 Thomas Lübking 2012-12-29 15:57:56 UTC
Problem is likely that moc deleted s_compositor (from workspace parent) before the client is released, but the Compositor deconstructor does not NULL s_compositor.

Can you try a patch?

Seems that did it :-) No more crashes after changing decos and doing a restart(s) of KWin 
Thanks!
