Comment 9 for bug 1021517

I have tried to reproduce, but it fails. Indeed that was what I have expected. The bugrate on this is to low on launchpad as that could be a common bug of GIMP to all.

"step5: crash (login window appears)" from comment 5.

That is a very valuable hint.

It says that you have not so far a problem with GIMP, it is the xserver of your system that crashes. Gimp is just hitting the weak point of xserver.

Xserver bugs are mostly hard to debug, but in your case it is possible, because you can reproduce it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The easiest way would be, if the system has gathered the crash by itself, but has not send it.

Please check the directory

/var/crash/

with nautilus

if there is a .crash file of xorg or metacity or similiar. (You can post a list of files here if you want).

With a right mouse click -> open with -> report problem you can send this manually.

It should be entered in the crash database(no seperated ticket), but maybe you get a launchpad ticket

Please report back. When there is no .crash file we do it more complicated.
