Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
I am not sure if it is a firefox, X system or fusion bug.
When I try to run firefox under kubuntu 7.10, when compiz fusion is running,
firefox
won't start. It shows the dialog to select the profile I want, and when I
choose one and tell it to load, it crashes
with:
"
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 4279 error_code 3 request_code 20 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.)
"
When I run "firefox --sync" it starts ok, with no message at all. This seems to
be an ok workaround,
but I suppose most users start firefox without "-sync", and suddenly not being
able to start the web browser
is a big turn off.
The option "firefox menu fix" in fusion's workarounds plugin, doesn't do
any difference.
I have installed every update in kubuntu 7.10
