[Bug 401823] Re: Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

I don't think that the bug is related to Flash: I get it without having Flash on my system. I do think that Flash makes everything worse :-) Again, I point to this bug report: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21583 Unfortunately, that report has been diluted by a bunch of Cairo proble

Micah said "it's only a warning, so nothing bad should happen". Please read comment 67. This diagnostic is a warning of bad things going on. They will eventually bite you unless you restart FireFox. -- Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401823 You rece

I updated for 10.04 LTS AMD64 => 12.04 LTS AMD64 in the last few days. Cheese went from working to failing in the way described above: At launch, it took 100% CPU and did not even show a window. This was true with and without my HP USB webcam plugged in. I wanted to give a useful traceback but the

For some unknown reason, this problem showed up on my system recently (XFCE / Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS system with all updates). Deleting ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml and logging in again didn't fix it for me. (See #7) That file contains so I don't know what theme is bein

I think that Flash provokes the bug more often than other things, but I don't think that this is a Flash bug. Read my comment #92. My desktop is Fedora 11. I get these crashes regularly if I leave a lot of tabs open for a long time. I don't have Flash installed on the system. I don't know if t

If you read enough of this bz entry, you will see that it cannot be fixed by a new Adobe Flash. Proof: I have the problem but don't have Flash installed. My best guess is that this is a GTK bug. You will see hints of this if you read the whole bz entry. Or just look for GTK. -- You received t

For what it's worth, I just had this hit me again but on Fedora 11 with Firefox 3.5.8 on x86-64. Note: I don't have Flash on the system. The fact that it is Fedora should not be important since this is an upstream bug. Removing the warning does not remove the bug, it just obscures it. If the f

I don't think that suppressing the warning message fixes the underlying bug. This is a rather deep bug. Have a look at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21583 -- (firefox:24993): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead - overeager XID caching https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/4018
