Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: seamonkey
Here is the sample of what it puts on stderr :
The program 'seamonkey-2.0-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
(Details: serial 44694 error_code 172 request_code 152 minor_code 7)
(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.)
As I understand from Google searches, this usually happens when
Seamonkey is linked to system-wide Cairo library, not to its own
modified copy of Cairo. With official SM 2.0 from Lucid repositories,
this happens quite often.
Earlier I used Seamonkey 2.0 from Joe-NationNet PPA and it did not crash this
often at all.
May be it is worth to compromise to Seamonkey developer demands and link to its
bundled&modified Cairo version, not to the system-wide one.
My kernel is 2.6.32-21-generic x86_64 , and my video driver is NVidia
proprietary v. 195.36.15-0ubuntu2
Ubuntu 10.04 64bit with all recent updates, freshly rebooted.
