I have to admit that I "touched a running system" again ;-) My thinkpad runs gentoo linux x86, some unstable packages as well, I upgraded to Gnome 2.28 a few days ago.
Yes, this could as well got to the mythtv-users-list but I assume the problem isn't with mythtv ... The symptoms: When I start mythfrontend it opens but somehow "kills" the display of the window borders ... the windowmanager seems to be hit somehow. Alt-Tab doesn't work anymore, the mythfrontend doesn't react to my keyboard, the mouse moves and selects but doesn't set the focus. When I click a gnome-term-windows it doesn't come upfront. ps -ef shows metacity running, I don't see any particular errors in the usual places (/var/log/messages, Xorg.0.log, etc). I reemerged xorg-server (1.6), xorg-drivers, rebuilt a fresh xorg.conf, rebuilt mythtv etc etc AND: Starting OpenOffice shows similar effects! Window border disappears etc. I assume this might have to do with qt somehow? There were quite some qt-related updates as well done ... I do perfectly understand that using unstable packages *could* lead to such a situation. My q is just: Has anyone here seen this as well? Any hint on what path to follow? Downgrade ... ? Thanks in advance for any help ... Stefan
