Comment 2 for bug 520186

I also am getting an error similar to this. Originally the problem was fixed by not using the new Wave theme'. However, after a recent system update via the update manager the fault returned - all the themes tried have produced the same result - a crash after a few seconds of runnning. I have also posted a report on bug 411941.

Using KK 9.10, 2.6.31.-19
Nvidia drivers
Gnome 2.28.1

I have tried with desktop effects on and off.

Machine is an Acer Revo with Atom 230 processor, 3GB RAM.

Error as follows :

(/usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe:2013): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: GdkPixbufLoader finalized without calling gdk_pixbuf_loader_close() - this is not allowed. You must explicitly end the data stream to the loader before dropping the last reference.
The program '/usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 4021 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (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.)

I have not been able to run in gdb as yet - if i get the chance I wil post the results.
