Package: kde-window-manager Version: 4:4.3.1-1 Severity: important Context: this is a machine with several users (in several simultaneously-running sessions on the same seat) and "only" 1.5GB of RAM, so things get swapped out before one user comes back to the seat while others use it.
In my session I have one "main" desktop with light apps, and another one which holds a handful of firefox windows. When I switch to this FF desktop, it takes some time for it to get responsive - I am not sure it is only a matter of FF being swapped out, since even the active window frame drawn by kwin does not get drawn before a couple of seconds. Now if I do not wait for the "desktop switch" to "stabilize" after Ctrl-F2, and start going Alt-TAB-TAB in the hope to reach a particular FF window rapidly, it sometimes happen that the keyboard stops responding: - no wm shortcuts (alt-tab, ctrl-Fn, etc) - no key event receieved by the active window - still able to switch desktop and apps with the mouse - still able to Ctrl-Alt-Fn to another VC and use the keyboard there Now if I "killall kwin" and switch back to X, I can then use the keyboard again and restart one from my xterm, and all is good (until the time I get impatient again). What kind of additional information would be useful here ? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28.10-smp-smp-00002-g0fee61b (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=french (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kde-window-manager depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.3.1-1 runtime components from the offici ii kdelibs5 4:4.3.1-1 core libraries for all KDE 4 appli ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.6-1 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libkdecorations4 4:4.3.1-1 library used by decorations for th ii libkephal4 4:4.3.1-1 API for easier handling of multihe ii libkwineffects1 4:4.3.1-1 library used by effects for the KD ii libkworkspace4 4:4.3.1-1 Library for the kdebase workspace ii libplasma3 4:4.3.1-1 library for the KDE 4 Plasma deskt ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.5.2-2 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-qt3support 4:4.5.2-2 Qt 3 compatibility library for Qt ii libqtcore4 4:4.5.2-2 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.5.2-2 Qt 4 GUI module ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.0-4 X11 Composite extension library ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.1-4 X11 damaged region extension libra ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.0-2 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra kde-window-manager recommends no packages. kde-window-manager suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
