superkaramba causes xscreensaver error messages

[Hein Zelle]

Binary package hint: superkaramba

When running xscreensaver together with superkaramba, I get many of the following error messages displayed by xscreensaver when it is active:

unrecognized ClientMessage "_NET_RESTACK_WINDOW" received for window
(superkaramba / Superkaramba)

The error mesage is not exact as I can't copy/paste from the
xscreensaver display, but it's about right.

There are a few bug reports in debian about this, for the xscreensaver package. The xscreensaver author suggests (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=109453 at the bottom) that this is a problem with the client program doing bad things, in this case superkaramba.

I've tried to send this report to the upstream author at <email address hidden>, but their mailbox is full and the mail was bounced.

My system:

ubuntu 6.10 (edgy)
kernel 2.6.17-11-server

X Window System Version 7.1.1
Release Date: 12 May 2006

Installed packages:

ii superkaramba 3.5.5-0ubuntu2 a program based on karamba improving the eyecandy of KDE
ii xscreensaver 4.24-4ubuntu2 Automatic screensaver for X
ii xscreensaver-data 4.24-4ubuntu2 data files to be shared among screensaver frontends
ii xscreensaver-data-extra 4.24-4ubuntu2 data files to be shared among screensaver frontends
ii xscreensaver-gl 4.24-4ubuntu2 GL(Mesa) screen hacks for xscreensaver

Good morning,

I see this bug was last upded on 2007-03-21. I am wondering if you are still having problems with superkaramba and xscreensaver? If so could you please update this bug report with the current version of Kubuntu, xscreensaver and superkaramaba?

Thanks,

Jonathan

To be honest I have no idea - I have stopped using kde and
superkaramba about a year ago, at work. At home I just use xfce. I
currently don't have time to go and test it, so I'm afraid I can't
give you an update on the status.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

Kind regards,
     Hein Zelle

Marking this as invalid as the initiatl reporter is no longer using KDE and superkaramba.

Thanks for reporting this bug.

I'm using those 2 programs and having the bug, so I might as well report:

xscreensaver: v 5.04
superkaramba: v0.42
kubuntu: 8.04

regards

Is this still a problem with KDE 4?

I wouldn't know, I no longer work on KDE
