Listmates,

I have used e16 for several days and changing themes worked fine. A quick flash of the screen (you could see the framebuffer of kdm during the change) and then the new theme appeared just like it should. Now however, something has changed and when I go to change themes, I navigate to choose the theme I want with: rt-click (menu) -> Themes (they all appear), and as soon as I click on a theme to kickoff the change process -- WHAM, my screen freezes (mouse moves, but all epplets/apps are frozen).

Another peculiar symptom is the pager. When the screen is frozen, if I move my mouse inside the pager (cursor changes to an X), the pager captures it and will not let it out of the pager dialog borders. I can still move it around within the borders, but there is no escape from the "pager jail".

ctrl+alt+F1 drops me to console, and I then have to kill Xorg manually to get things running again. Basically I have to kill off:

\_ /usr/bin/Xorg -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-aR2yAp \_ /usr/bin/Xorg -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-aR2yAp \_ -:0 \_ e16 \_ /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --write-env-file /home/david/.gnupg/agent.info /usr/bin/s

<snip>

and then I can restart xdm. The normal xdm shutdown causes e16 to shutdown leaving only the two Xorg instances that have to be manually killed with 'kill -9' I'm not sure what is going on there, but it appears that I have two instances of Xorg running (I don't know, that may be normal) but I cannot figure out what is causing the hang. Can anybody suggest what I can check to find the answer? Anybody had this happen to them?

I wonder if this is due to that new splash that got installed from the e17 repo (the blue splash that shows the moon over the clouds...) Could that be the problem here? Any thoughts on what to check?

I personally usually have little trouble with e16, and I cannot say I have ever seen this set of behaviour. However, you also did mention in your previous post that you are having problems that seemed to involve KDE components and e16, it also faintly possible that your QT/KDE config is not playing nicely with e16 (I have no KDE 4 material installed and make minimal use anything KDE3 based nowadays). e17 should not interfere with e16 and in my case does not (and in my case I also have entrance setup to give the initial login which strongly related to e17, bit of irritation in that many of the older e17 themes no longer work with e17 and entrance which broke my rather nice 10.2 config but that is a different issue). Did find a couple of things missing in my original e16 install under 11.0 but these have been restored after a minor upgrade to a later svn from the build service.
