[Bug 199245] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crash opening any window: "BadWindow" X error under Xvnc

2009-05-20 Thread Aaron Roydhouse
The resolution not being configurable by the vnc client is expected I think. Xvnc and I assume vnc4server don't support xrandr so you can't change the resolution from what is configured on the server when the display is created. So I think that one is a limitation rather than a bug. You can make mu

@Ahmad - yeah very annoying bug that affects laptop users every day they use Ubuntu; But Gnome is I think mostly unfunded community development, so if we don't like we should fix it ourselves, sponsor someone to fix it, or be patient. Canonical should have an interest in fixing this as it detracts

I have the same problem in 9.04. You can't enter a blank password, because the settings editor will not replace an existing password with a blank password. You used to be able to fix this be deleting and recreating the entire account and being careful not to edit the password. Now though (recent u

I also see this problem with Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid (amd64), gnome-panel 2.24.1. I've tried locking and unlocking every way I can think of but still the placement and order shifts around. For me is it is particularly the notification area applet (2.24.1) that shifts around. Most other things seems t

No change. The behaviour is the same in Jaunty 9.04 (amd64), gnome-panel 2.26.0. To reproduce use xrandr to change the horizontal resolution of the screen to a larger and then smaller width, and note what happens to your right-aligned applets. This affects laptop users who use external monitors t

I'm finding with 13.04 64bit latest updates, I can't copy more that 50MB with gvfs from any source before it locks up in kernel and you get a set of unkillable/defunct processes that you have to reboot to clear. I have tried copying with Nautilus or rsync, and I have tried copy from a SMB source a

You're both right I think. - This is a gnome-panel bug and we should all probably be talking to the gnome team about a fix rather than Ubuntu. - Because gnome is a big part of the Ubuntu 'package', highly visible annoyances like this do reflect on the perceived quality of Ubuntu, and its ability

I experienced the same problem with gnome-settings-daemon using Xvnc (vnc4server 4.1.1+xorg1.0) with Ubuntu 8.04 desktop (all updates as at 15 June 2008). I found that disabling just the keyboard plug-in for gnome-settings-daemon, and logging in again, gave immediate relief. For the other dimwits
