gnome-terminal flakes out
Submitted by pmb..@..com.au
Description
Package: gnome-terminal Severity: normal Version: 1.2.1 Synopsis: gnome-terminal flakes out Class: sw-bug
Distribution: Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman) System: Linux 2.2.12-20 i686 unknown C library: glibc-2.1.2-11 C compiler: egcs-2.91.66 glib: 1.2.8 GTK+: 1.2.8 ORBit: ORBit 0.5.1 gnome-libs: gnome-libs 1.2.3 libxml: 1.8.7 gnome-print: gnome-print-0.20 gnome-core: gnome-core 1.2.1
Description: The problem is that when I start gnome-terminal from an icon or from the gnome panel menu, it appears briefly and then vanished totally. (I should mention I'm running RH 6.1 and Helix Gnome 1.2.)
Luckily I had a couple of gnome-terminals open for the last few days; they hadn't disappeared (i.e. something's happening to the machine so that gnome-terminals in existence are okay but "new" ones that are instantiated die off a second or so after they come into being).
So I went to one of the gnome-terminals that was running and typed "gnome-terminal &".
The gnome-terminal came up, died, and what I got on the gnome-terminal I typed the command was this:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) serial 1216 error_code 9 request_code 14 minor_code 0
[1]+ Exit 1 gnome-terminal
After I reboot the machine, the problem is fixed.
I should also mention that there's no set or fixed time after which this occurs. I can be running my system for days on end and not have this problem, so I can't say it's doing this at a particular time or when the machine has been running for "x" hours on end.
