Ubuntu 9.04 Total freeze of Xorg

[Haggan]

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04. Running remote-hellaNZB-GUI workes sometimes but most of the time it freezes Xorg totaly. I have to go switch to a term and kill the remote-hellanzb python process to resume the system.

How could I debug this?

trying with strace

got this

The program 'remote-hellanzb-gui' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 874 error_code 163 request_code 156 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.)

Perhaps this could help?

I get very similar behaviour: sometimes it all works (seldom).

Otherwise it flashes on screen and closes:

info: Hi !
python: ../../src/xcb_io.c:176: process_responses: Assertion `!(req && current_request && !(((long) (req->sequence) - (long) (current_request)) <= 0))' failed.
Aborted

Or it locks xorg as previously described: I cant even get a trace on that, as it locks screen til I kill remote-hellanzb-gui in terminal

info: Hi !
Terminated

 again on ubuntu 9.04

Another kind of error :

$ remote-hellanzb-gui
info: Salut !
remote-hellanzb-gui: Fatal IO error 11 (Ressource temporairement non disponible) on X server :0.0.

Try again :

$ remote-hellanzb-gui
info: Salut !
