I believe I've managed to identify the issue here. It is dependent on my having correctly navigated the register variable identification. Gdb is supposed to report which register the variable is stored in using "info address dpy" but this reports "Symbol "dpy" is a variable with multiple locations" - not exactly helpful.
I then looked at all the registers (info registers) and saw that rbx and rdi contained the same value. I took a leap of faith and assumed this was the dpy pointer. Examining the structure there the values seem to make sense in the context of a Display pointer (which is a typedef of the true _XDisplay). The breakpoint was triggered after trying to open a program via a custom launcher on screen 1 (DISPLAY=:0.1). In XDefineCursor(Display dpy, Window w, Cursor c) the values in the dpy structure show: (gdb) print ((Display *)$rbx)->proto_major_version $14 = 11 (gdb) print ((Display *)$rbx)->proto_minor_version $15 = 0 (gdb) print ((Display *)$rbx)->vendor $16 = 0x204cbc0 "The X.Org Foundation" (gdb) print ((Display *)$rbx)->nscreens $11 = 2 (gdb) print ((Display *)$rbx)->display_name $12 = 0x2032c50 ":0.0" (gdb) print ((Display *)$rbx)->default_screen $13 = 0 Notice that "display_name" is ":0.0" when it should be ":0.1". This suggests that the GDK_WINDOW_XDISPLAY and subsidiary macros in the GTK package are not delivering the correct result. Because the issue is limited to custom launchers on display :0.1 it looks likely the problem is higher up the call stack; most likely in gnome-panel itself. -- two xscreens -> gnome panel crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
