Public bug reported: When I first invoke the deskbar applet after I've logged in, I type a few characters and the window becomes unresponsive.
However, it's an odd kind of "unresponsive" because the window manager (both compiz and metacity) don't notice that it's dead, and don't offer me the option to force quit. Compiz does not desaturate it as it normally would for an application that's frozen. If I kill the applet directly and then select "reload" when the panel asks me if I should reload the applet, it seems to work fine. Running strace on the hung process wasn't too helpful; it just says it's blocked in a futex_wait. Even odder, if I strace it before I attempt to do anything with it, the bug does not occur, so it seems like a pretty twitchy race condition. ** Affects: deskbar-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [gutsy] deskbar applet locks up during first search after startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
