Public bug reported:
>From time to time, after I Alt-Tab to switch the current window, I get
mysterious notification about broken window switcher. In Polish it reads
Instalacja przełącznika okien jest uszkodzona, brakuje zasobów.
Powiadom o tym swoją dystrybucję.
(screenshot attached). Roughly translating back to English it means
Installation of window switcher is broken, lack of resources.
Let your distribution know.
(unfortunately I failed to find source of this message so don't know
actual English text).
Once it happens, it usually reappears on every or almost every Alt-Tab
(and those messages stack).
Apart from this message things seem to work more-or-less fine (windows
are switched).
I report the bug for two reasons:
1. I have absolutely no clue what does the error mean, which resources
may be missing (my computer does not seem to be lacking anything, there
is a lot of spare memory, disk, low I/O etc), which program reports it,
and what I am, or am not, expected to do. So, as the minimum, it would
be great if somebody could patch this message so it actually gives a
clue what happened.
2. Error message explicite asks me to let my distribution know (I
suppose „distribution” in this context means Linux distribution, Ubuntu
in my case)(.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I use 2-monitor setup (and IIRC I never saw this problem on single
monitor) and nvidia binary drivers.
