The program 'Banshee' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 4037 error_code 9 request_code 137 minor_code 9)
  (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.)

[José Lou Chang (obake)]

Problem can be solved by editing the line with clutterflow to say "False" at ~/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/config.xml

But, this does not fix the bug, it is merely a workaround.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Confirmed and sent to upstream tracker, you can track and follow status of this issue at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646150

[Pierre Rust (pierre-rust)]

Still happens in Oneiric Ocelot (x86_64) with Banshee 2.2.0.

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Yeah, I've noticed this as well. I think it might be for the best to disable the clutterflow extension in Oneiric considering it probably does not work at all.

[Ian Stokes-Rees (ijstokes)]

In 11.10 with Banshee 2.2.1 I still get this behavior: banshee freezes when the clutterflow extension is "checked".

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package banshee-community-extensions - 2.2.0-3ubuntu1

---------------
banshee-community-extensions (2.2.0-3ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian/unstable to drop clutterflow extension,
    remaining change:
    - Enable Appindicator extension

banshee-community-extensions (2.2.0-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * [fb763e7] Cherry-pick LiveRadio crash-fix (LP: #881902)
  * [004bc6f] Update email address
  * [4a7215b] Drop clutterflow extension
    clutter-gtk-sharp has been disabled due to the removal of
    clutter-gtk-0.10/libchamplain-0.8. Clutterflow also does not work, causing a
    huge memory leak that causes the system to thrash in about a minute or so.
    Thanks to Michael Biebl (Closes: #648429) (LP: #738486)

banshee-community-extensions (2.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upload rebuild for CLR 4.0 transition
  * [a57bfe0] Don't use deprecated cli.make, instead use the cli sequence
