Ekiga running, hidden, unreachable and won't close

[Duncan Lithgow]

Ubuntu 9.04
Ekiga 3.0.1-1ubuntu1

What happens:
* I have set Ekiga to start at startup, and it seem to be starting but I can't access it.
* There is no status icon
* Logging out reports that Ekiga is still running so I have to kill it.

Attached is a backtrace.

This started as soon as I installed the Empathy IM client

Here's a backtrace with more symbols.

From frames 7 and 8, it looks like it's trying to create a tray icon when it freezes. Then it goes into some xcb code. The problem could be with a recent xcb update...

[Brian Rogers (brian-rogers)]

This is a libX11 bug. I've posted a fix upstream at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-January/043133.html

[Yannick Defais (sevmek)]

I confirm that bug; using up-to-date ubuntu 9.04 netbook-remix.

Hi,

@Duncan,
Does this means the patch from Brian Rogers is now accepted by the X.org team?

[Joe_Bishop (denis-cheremisov-gmail)]

The latest libx11 update fixed this issue. Everything works OK now.
