[e-users] strange behaviour of firefox/thunderbird on opensuse

[Sebastian V. <ba...@fe...>]

hello e-users,

since i have been using dr17 for a few years on my laptop/home pc on  
gentoo, i gave it a try on my work pc which is running opensuse 12.2.  
i installed alpha2 & efl 1.7.1 from the X11:/Enlightenment:/Factory  
repository.

everything seems to work fine, with one exception:

1) start firefox -> i can see e17 startup screen flickering through  
once, then firefox starts normally.
[1b) close firefox or leave it open. leads to the same result.]
2) start thunderbird -> "normal" e17 view and e startup screen keep  
flickering, and all i can do is zapping the x server. no thunderbird,  
no "enlightenment segv'd" message, just flickering.
3) this also "works" the other way round (first thunderbird, then firefox).

does anyone else have this problem?

greetings,
sebastian

ps: one thing to consider: i use two screens on an radeon hd4650 using  
fglrx legacy, because the compositor wouldn't work on the open source  
radeon drivers. since fglrx has been a pita since it came into  
existence, could it be a bug the driver? and if so, why doesn't this  
happen on kde?
