Also, this still happens. Yay no easy way to disable screen mirroring! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The problem appears to be from gnome-panel. More specifically, this usually happens on login to a single-screen system (though gnome-display-properties also provokes this). The "workaround" for this is to *remove* the ~/.gconf/apps/panel/toplevels directory -- after that point, I can login to a usable system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Once apply is clicked, things go south. Specifically: 1. I don't see the panel anymore. 2. Where the panel _was_ (across the top of the screen), I now see flickering in the top-left corner. Constant redrawing, from what I can guess. 3. I can't select any windows. I have focus-follows-mouse enabled, and hovering over a window no longer changes the title bar color. Clicking inside a window has no effect (e.g. if the window is below another window, it is NOT raised to be top in the Z order). 4. The output of top(1) shows gnome-panel with 65+% CPU, and an increasing amount of %MEM (38.8, 39.7, etc...). Incredibly, the mouse still moves, but the system is ~completely unusable from within Gnome (though using a terminal still works, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1...). One piece of information that might be needed to reproduce is my dual-screen setup: This is a laptop, so my "primary" screen is the laptop screen. The secondary screen is placed to the *left* of the primary screen. My panel is on the primary screen. Thus: +-----------+-------------+ | | panel-1 | | +-------------+ | | | | Secondary | Primary | | | | +-----------+-------------+ Based on previous comments (comment #4 and comment #7), my suspicion is that when the Mirror Screens checkbox + Apply button is clicked, the screens/monitors are renumbered, and the Primary screen goes from being Monitor 1 to Monitor 0. gnome-panel, meanwhile, wants to stick a panel into monitor 1, which no longer exists, and consequently craps itself in a busy loop of some form. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The above comments from 2008-12-01 were from 11.1 Beta 4, I believe, and the problem seemed to be confined to gnome-panel (to the extent that I could "fix" the problem by renaming .gconf/apps/panel, or by manually modifying the .gconf XML as done in comment #7). (Though when I go back and retest this, I *really* should mention which version I'm retesting on...) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yay! No hangs, no behavior that renders the desktop "unusable," It Just Works.
