OK, i am posting this on the newbie list because i have no answer on the expert list (that is like a desert). So, here we go again :
On mandriva 2006 official, pentium 3, 512MB mem, everything on gimp V2.2 is configured all right for the cache size (256MB). I've seen no recent updates available for the gimp (2.2.8-6mdk, also in the devel/community tree). I've searched the bugzilla for a noticeable report about a same behavior, but found nothing. When i open a jpg image of a size like 3MB, i select a part of the image (more than half) and i hit ctrl+C to copy this part of image (in order to paste somewhere ale). Consequence : cpu is at 100% for about 20 seconds. And this gimp sometimes crashes at that moment. So when i am treating a lot of photos and i loose the work of two hours, i get really nervous. Here is the output on a terminal when the gimp crashes : sending pixbuf data as 'image/png' (png) sending pixbuf data as 'image/bmp' (bmp) sending pixbuf data as 'image/jpeg' (jpeg) sending pixbuf data as 'image/png' (png) sending pixbuf data as 'image/bmp' (bmp) The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 158667 error_code 3 request_code 18 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.) Is there any workaround ? What should i do to correct this problem ? -- christophe
