I have been having problems with Evolution grabbing my mouse related to clicking on mails, I think. I wouldn't call it a freeze, though... Eventually I usually could get it to go back (by clicking aimlessly on things that change the mouse coursor) but occasionally I'd have to do a killev. --Ben On Sun, 2002-04-28 at 16:20, Not Zed wrote:
Its pretty unlikely multiple threads are accessing gtk/etc, we know its not thread safe, so are very careful about using it (as much a mess as it makes of the code). Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm definetly not getting it (yet) - I very infrequently update gtk/etc though. gdb seems to be playing up too, perhaps try cvs gdb? Not really sure ...

This happens when I click (or select with keyboard) a mail in the list. Not always, not always the same. I tried running gdb evolution-mail in a terminal, but it exited at the freeze (Program exited). There were still evolution-mail threads present, apparently all stuck in select() or so.Ok, galeon seems to have the same problem, less frequent. The common pattern is, when I attach gdb to the main (frozen) thread: they both freeze in a X function, like this: #0 0x4097a7ce in select () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x40273fdc in _XlcPublicMethods () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #2 0x401cf3ba in _XRead () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #3 0x401cfdc3 in _XReply () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #4 0x401cba77 in XSync () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 #5 0x40041150 in gdk_superwin_scroll () from /usr/lib/libgtksuperwin.so Not always the same function, but top 2 are always select() and _XlcPublicMethods() ...the _XlcPublicMethods thing is just an artifact of not having symbols for Xlib.now I'm a bit lost, who should I address that report to ?I'd have to guess it's an evolution bug; it's trying to use GDK from multiple threads without locking, and thats' corrupting X lib internals. (Probably the user from multiple threads is accidental)I don't think so, because it happened suddenly both for galeon and evolution. I suspect an underlying common package (e.g. gtk+, gdk or X) to be the cause. Unfortunately I don't know which ones have been updated lately.
