Package: dbus Version: 0.62-4 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Having just put together a diminutive desktop based around IceWM, I noticed that mozilla-totem had a missing dependency on dbus to enable Firefox to control Totem. As soon as I had installed dbus, keyboard input inside X became VERY sluggish: duplicated keystrokes, skipped kestrokes, etc. Removing dbus instantly fixed it. As a second test, I force-removed (dpkg -P --force-depends dbus) dbus on my main desktop, which runs GNOME, and on which sluggish keyboard operation crept in back a few GNOME versions ago (presumably when evolution, gnome-screensaver or rhythmbox started to depend upon dbus). Same effect: MUCH smoother keyboard input without dbus. It therefore seems that I have accidentally found a source of keyboard input hindrance inside X, with dbus as the cause. It would probably be a good idea to forward this bug report to upstream. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-imac Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dbus depends on: ii adduser 3.95 Add and remove users and groups ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-2 0.62-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3.2 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-7 X11 client-side library ii lsb-base 3.1-10 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip dbus recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE0gb3eXr56x4Muc0RAnyEAKCgMt5Smo4r1kOvIWhXfSjEZ3I8GQCdECPw W+9ThWEsGEzNlLgPpUmwNgE= =/LdA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
