Confirmed:
Compiz crashes every time ksnapshot is closed and also when screensaver
activates (probably when the screen goes to sleep. When it crashes, the desktop
goes black, but some of compiz continues to run. See screenshot (from prtsc
alt+s 'typed in name' return):
http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/compizcrash-blackscrn.jpg
Let me explain: When the screen goes black, you might see a little white
square or two where a piece of a window used to be, but everything else is
black. I did confirm that input still works by opening konsole before closing
ksnapshot so I would have a konsole to enter kwin --replace & into in case of
failure (alt+F2 is screwed up on Beta 5 so you just can't do "alt+F2 kwin
--replace &" as in kde3)
The second time it happened, on a whim, I ctrl+alt+left-mouse'd the desktop
and low-and-behold, the cube was still active, with the cube caps in perfect
color, but I was looking at a 4-sided cube with all the sides black as night.
Very strange, because the deformation had been set and functioning as a
cylinder. Cube performance was just fine on rotation, etc..
I was determined to catch this behavior so you could see what was happening
and my persistance paid off! I knew I had ksnapshot set for full-screen and
delay set for 4 seconds, so I gave (alt+n 'grabbed and rotated screen' alt+s
'typed in name' return) and I got it! See:
http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/compizcrash-blackcube.jpg
This shows what happens after the crash. The cylinder deformation is gone
and it has reverted to the cube and all 4 sides of the desktop are black.
Immediately prior to the crash, all appeared to be working OK. See:
http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_11.1/compiz-oss.jpeg
Obviously there is a serious problem somewhere that causes this behavior.
At least it is repeatable every time. Just start compiz, the take a screenshot
with ksnapshot and then quit ksnapshot --> Wham black cube of death.
