Re: defective GTK app crashes gnome



Only the gnome desktop is locked-up. If I get out with ctrl-alt-backspace then I can log in again.
I attached the offending app. Start it and click the "test" menu.
regards

I have saved a minimized version of a defective GTK app that locks up the gnome windowing system so that a reboot is required. Is anyone out there in GTK land interested, or is this old news?


This is new news to me. The only thing that I know of that would make a machine lock up so as to require a reboot is a memory leak or some obscure X11 bug. Certainly nothing in GTK itself could directly crash a computer.

When the system locks up, is the computer still alive? Can you ssh into it, can you shut down the X server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)? These kind of locks you describe are either just a misunderstanding of what is really locked up, or very very rare (I haven't heard of one in a long time). Are you running nvidia binary graphics drivers by chance?
