Package: emacs23 Version: 23.3+1-1.1 Followup-For: Bug #604813 Dear Maintainer, I have updated from squeeze to testing 3 days ago. Since this update, the call of emacs causes a crash of the whole X11 session, nearly independent of the kind of session (gnome, kde, xfce or sawfish). An exception for this is the gnome-failsafe session, where the problem doesn't ocure. It also doesn't ocure if I start emacs with option "-Q".
This bug seems to be related to some configuration setting, which I don't know. Because for other accounts on my machine this does not happen. Therefore I had already deleted all ~/.g* files and directories. But this has not resolved the problem. I am not quite sure if this problem is the same as #604813 or another (new) bug. See below the output of gdb: /usr/bin/emacs [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] (process:13835): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. (emacs:13835): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action. GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information.

This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action. Connection lost to X server `:0.0' When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects. This is a GTK bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715 For details, see etc/PROBLEMS. Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x00007ffff1f596e7 in kill () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82 82 ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: No such file or directory. in ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S (gdb) The output above seems to be caused by the crash of X11. If I run startx instead of gdm, I see that glibc complains about a double free or memory corruoption. Unfortunally the keyboard and gpm are gone at this time. So I can't copy the exact output line.
