Opening new window and modifying with xdotool causes crash
Description
- When I login to Gnome, a gnome-terminal session is autostarted.
- I've written a simple shell script named
cto replace this initial terminal with a larger one, containing two tabs, located in the top-right corner of the screen. - The new terminal typically flashes on the screen briefly but then gnome-terminal-server immediately crashes with a coredump.
- If I try to trace the script by running
sh -x c >foo 2>&1then everything works fine.
Script File
$ cat c
#! /bin/sh
# c - Replace current terminal with a "standard" one.
self=$(xdotool getactivewindow)
gnome-terminal -q --geometry=120x100-0+0 --window --tab
while [[ $self = $(xdotool getactivewindow) ]]; do sleep 0.1; done
xdotool windowclose $self >/dev/null 2>&1Journalctl Output
gnome-terminal-[1475]: The program 'gnome-terminal-server' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 2714 error_code 3 request_code 18 (core protocol) 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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
