[E-devel] e17 segfaulting on change of ibox or favorites or clicking on settings windows

[David C. R. <dra...@su...>]

Guys

	I'm working in Dimitry's E17-svn_20100516_r48925-3.2 rpms for opensuse 11.0 and
I am experiencing segfaults regularly. I finally had to give up configuring my
ibox and favorites applications because E17 segfaults every time I move, add or
change ibox or favorites apps. Also, when I rt-click on the panel for
Shelf1->Shelf Settings and then click on the settings window that appears, I get
segfaults then as well about ~30% of the time.

	Some of the crashes, cause a complete shutdown and restart xdm. The syslog
errors look like this:

May 22 15:55:21 alchemy kernel: enlightenment[4847]: segfault at 7f4e1c765a60 ip
7f4e1c765a60 sp 7f4d509fa0f8 error 15
May 22 15:55:24 alchemy kernel: [fglrx] GART Table is not in FRAME_BUFFER range

dma buffers: 3679 MBytes.
May 22 15:55:24 alchemy kernel: [fglrx] Reserved FB block: Shared offset:0,

May 22 16:03:38 alchemy kernel: [fglrx] GART Table is not in FRAME_BUFFER range
May 22 16:03:38 alchemy kernel: [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked
dma buffers: 3679 MBytes.

May 22 16:03:38 alchemy kernel: [fglrx] Reserved FB block: Unshared
offset:7ffb000, size:5000

	I don't think the fglrx messages are related, but I left them for completeness.

	The other crashes are the run-of-the-mill "Press F1 to Recover" and then E17
comes back to life. For example, if I try to move an icon in ibox 2 positions to
the left/right, then E17 will crash with the "Press F1 to Recover" -- but, the
icon would have been correctly moved to the new spot.

	In all other respects, E17 is running like a dream. I have tried this with the
default theme as well as with the present theme - same results.

	What to test? What to try? What other info can I provide? Seriously, if you
want me to run additional tests or provide more information, I'm happy to do it.
I really enjoy E and would like to get this problem sorted out. Thanks.
