package: konqueror version: 3.5.9 severity: critical I have been running Konqueror on fvwm-crystal on Debian Lenny. A number of times while using Konqueror, the entire X server crashed, restarted, and showed the login screen. The problem usually occurred after I had been using Konqueror with multiple tabs over a long period of time.
I am not completely sure Konqueror is the problem. However, I believe it is the most likely explanation, especially since I have often seen kcrashes while running OpenBSD. On OpenBSD, whenever Konqueror crashes, only Konqueror crashes, not the entire X server. On OpenBSD, I also run fvwm, but with a different configuration. I suspect that perhaps this problem does not occur on OpenBSD because of OpenBSD's propolice security feature, in which case perhaps this bug should be re-assigned to gcc. However, I am not certain. The Debian website says that the "serious" severity level should be used for bugs which "makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on systems where you install the package." Since this causes unrelated software on the system (the X server and all applications running on it) to break, and results in the loss of any unsaved data in those other applications, I am marking this as serious. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
