Description
GNOME 2.2 runs well on Laptop's LCD screen. Specifically, gnome-terminal pops up with no problem. However, I normally access this machine remotely via an XDMCP session from my desktop. I tried running this; was able to log in. Nautalis runs fine, but when I try to run gnome-terminal it IMMEDIATELY crashes.
100% Reproducible. Further, I tested from two different remote platforms:
- by logging in both from another Linux machine using
XHost :2 -server <IPaddress>
- by logging in from a MS Windows based PC X server (Xwin32). Same crashing behaviour in both.
Actual error message (as captured by running gnome-terminal inside an xterm) follows:
The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 192 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Version: 2.2.x
