Description Ivan Ferrucio Reche da Silva Filgueiras 2007-08-10 01:34:52 CEST
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070718 BonEcho/2.0.0.5
Build Identifier: 

Don't know if it is a memory managing problem, but when I get too many open apps (like 15 evinces, 2 firefoxs, 2 thunars and 1 open office), it crashes when I try to move the icon of the last opened application.

In the situation that it occurred to me, when I opened open office and tried to move it, xfdesktop crashed. When I reloaded xfdesktop without this last application, it worked properly.

I use Arch Linux distribution with open office 2.2. I have 512 MB of RAM, with 256MB of SWAP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ask for xfdesktop to display icons of minimized applications
2.open many applications
3.try to move the icon of the last one around

Need to get a gdb backtrace if I'm going to be able to track this down.  See http://spuriousinterrupt.org/projects/xfce4-debug

Couldn't reproduce it now... I'll try again later and post the debugging information for you.

Just FYI: 768MB total VM doesn't sound like enough for the stuff you're trying to run...

This is probably just the kernel behaving as it should when RAM-constrained.
