Altman" List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 01:43:26 -0000 Following up to myself: I ran Seamonkey from a terminal; it took a few minutes under two hours to crash again; this time, I have the error: The program 'seamonkey-bin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'. (Details: serial 1692977 error_code 157 request_code 147 minor_code 7) (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.) Maybe this will help. There is still no seamonkey.core in ~; nothing in messages; nothing in the Xorg.log. Seamonkey just blinks off. On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 08:02:34PM -0400, J.
