X desktop crashes when using kile

[Jan]

Binary package hint: kile

On Ubuntu Karmic (Gnome desktop) with some KDE apps, running kile and clicking the "Settings menu" may crash X. (The whole desktop GUI is gone and user is greeted with a login screen.) On my machine this scenario occurs after some hours of working with kile.

The .xsession-errors.old file (after new login, find this file in the attachment) indicates issues with NSPlugin Wrapper:

*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPClass::Invalidate() wait for reply: Connection reset by peer
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(/build/buildd/nspluginwrapper-1.2.2/src/npw-wrapper.c:1854):invoke_NPP_Destroy: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(plugin->connection))
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPObject 0x7f18588a4980 is no longer valid!

(npviewer.bin:28547): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

The most recent error related to kile in .xsession-errors.old is:

Warnung der Fensterverwaltung: Ungültiges WM_TRANSIENT_FOR-Fenster 0x5600004 festgelegt für 0x5600038 (kile).
Warnung der Fensterverwaltung: Ungültiges WM_TRANSIENT_FOR-Fenster 0x5600004 festgelegt für 0x5600f5c (Open Proje).

This translates as:

Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x5600004 specified for 0x5600038 (kile).

Xorg crashes are video driver bugs, so moving over to Xorg.

Also affects me!

Please don't 'me too' onto bug reports, it adds noise without adding any
information that would help solve the issue.

Instead, just use the 'Affects me too' button on the bug report page.

Hello I suppose my problem is related to this, in my case error is happening whenever I try to open a project from within kile.
When I press the open button, the file selector is showed and after that the entire X server is crashed with a segfault, in the attatchment I send the Xorg log, the problem occurs even with no window manager. At a first sight it appears to be related with the search for fonts:

Well I don't know if my problem was exactly the same, but it disappeared when I un installed the xfs package

Jan, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
