Hi Tom, hi Uli,

I originally submitted a detailed bug report at the Mate Desktop issues Github page here https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-desktop/issues/553.

I subsequently discovered that other desktops are similarly affected. All of them experienced segfaults or kernel traps in parts of their components, particularly in the Marco window manager that Mate uses.

I have also tried Gnome, Kde, xfce, Cinnamon & Icewm desktops, again on a Centos Stream 9 system. Similar results were found on an Alma 9 system so I do not believe the problem is specific to the 'upstream' / lesser-tested nature of CS9.

Apart from Icewm which remained usable even with the segfaults, the other desktops (particularly Mate which we use a lot for remote working) are rendered unusable by this problem. None of our Centos 7 systems have this problem.

I am running out of ideas to diagnose/fix this problem.

Any thoughts?

note that MATE upstream has fixed marco and now checks properly on the available Xres extension version before using its API (and crashing).

See upstream: [1].

In Debian unstable, I added those patches this recently: [2].

Greets,
Mike
