Bug ID: 452243
Summary: Programs running on Xwayland randomly crash and
Xwayland stops working
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic

excerpt from system logs during time of crash
SUMMARY
While using the wayland session X11 programs running via Xwayland(such as
STM32CubeIDE and Xilinx Vivado) randomly crash with no useful information in
logs. After this happens, the session continues to work without any issues but
X11 programs are not displayed anymore. They do run in the background but
aren't displayed. This can only be fixed by logging out and in. Unfortunately
no core dumps are generated and the logs only tell that Xwayland/the X11 server
has died.
Unfortunately I don't have much than can be useful for identifying the cause
but I would be more than happy to perform troubleshooting if anyone has any
suggestions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run any X11 program via Xwayland
2. Wait for an indeterminate/seemingly random amount of time
OBSERVED RESULT
Xwayland(and thus the program) crashes and afterwards all X11 programs aren't
being displayed anymore until the session gets restarted
EXPECTED RESULT
The program continues to run without issues
