Firefox outputs lots of "Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead" to c=
onsole
when opening some pages.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Open http://d.hatena.ne.jp/nyama/20090605

This warning was added for
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D581526

I didn't expect it to show up so soon after startup or to be
reproducible on particular pages (which makes me wonder whether there is
another problem also).

search, or typing in the address bar).

(In reply to comment #4)
The warning was added before gtk+-2.16.2, but is not in gtk+-2.16.1. =20
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gtk+/commit/?h=3Dgtk-2-16&id=3D339298b638ae76c546=
717f2136970b93438295a9

(Whatever is causing the warning is most likely happening in earlier
versions also though.)

gtk+-2.16.2 is now updates-testing stage in Fedora 11.
So I think I'll also face this issue shortly.

Now gtk+ has been updated to 2.16.2 on Fedora 11.
I can see the message at every pages which have flash content.

flash: 10.2.22.87 (x86_64 plugin from labs.adobe.com)

I cannot test pandora.com mentioned at the comment #2 because I'm
outside of the US.  Does the site have flash content?


Test site: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
1. When the flash movie is playing, we can get the message.
2. When we move to the other firefox tabs, we cannot get the message.
3. When we stop the flash movie with the button in the flash content, we ca=
nnot get the message.
4. When we move the mouse cursor over the button in the flash content, we c=
an get the message.
5. When we move the mouse cursor over the top menu (Solution, Products, etc=
.), we can get the message.

So I suppose we can get the message when:
  * The content have flash
  * The flash content is really visible. (When the flash content is embedde=
d on the content of inactive firefox tab or is hidden by scrolling, I canno=
t see the message.)
  * The page which have the flash content is redrawn (flash movie, popup in=
 HTML, etc.)

I can't see a reasonable way for either Xlib or the Xserver to guarantee th=
at
XIDs in client's event queues are unique.

The X server has handed off the DestroyNotify event, so it thinks it has
finished with the event.

Xlib could ensure not to allocate an XID referenced in its own event queue
(for known event types), but it wouldn't know what other clients might have=
 a
reference to a candidate XID sitting in their event queues.

If the server were to keep XIDs of destroyed windows allocated until clients
have processed events on that window, it would need to know when the events=
 in
Xlib's queue have been processed.  I can't see how the Xserver can know this
(without some change in protocol).

The other way of looking at this is that the events are a history of what h=
as
happened and need to be interpreted in the context of when they happened.

targetting for release milestone; in case this causes trouble we want a
fix; if it doesnt cause crashes or alike we should drop the warning for
the stable ubuntu release as it seems to flood xsession-errors et al.

This is what was being logged just before a reproducible (on this boot
anyway) firefox-3.5 seg fault when I launched firefox on the CLI after a
prior crash.  aaport didn't pick up on the crash though.

Crash was when I was in google voice, trying to click the button to edit
cell phone settings...  It did work previously (several days back) - no
idea what changed.

This bug causes serious problems for some of us.  In my case, (after bug
20254 was fixed) this is I believe the cause behind the way most of my
firefox sessions terminate (after sometimes producing the disembodied
windows mentioned in the first comment at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D581526 )

So.  Even if it's not possible to completely prevent an XID from being
reused before it's processed, perhaps it could be made so unlikely that
it won't happen in reasonable circumstances?  I am thinking of the way
process IDs work - each one is higher than the previous one assigned
until it hits an integer limit and wraps back to 0, but any unallocated
XIDs that old would hopefully not still be in queues.

I tried to take a look at the code but quickly came to the conclusion
that this isn't something I personally could just jump into.  So I don't
know if it's a feasible suggestion or not - if not perhaps there could
be some similar workaround to delay a given ID's reuse until it's simply
unlikely to be a problem

Improving the algorithm providing the XID range so that it provided a
larger range where possible would make this less likely (though it could
still happen less often in reasonable circumstances).

Keeping a buffer of a certain number of recently released XIDs is
another possibility.

Or perhaps calculating the range in advance, so that the range used is a
range of XIDs that were available (but not advertised) at the time of a
previous range request.

Reducing the frequency of the problem would provide relief.  In my
(possibly naive) opinion it is the wrong approach: the design flaw needs
to be fixed.  Perhaps that requires an API change.

This seems to be biting me too, to the order of once every 15 minutes
(closing a firefox tab has by my estimate a 10% chance of crashing the
firefox process). Meanwhile, .xsession-errors is flooded with messages
from GDK warning of XID collisions.

I run most of the Xorg stack from git and interestingly enough, this
behavior started a few weeks ago. I haven't had a chance to try
bisecting yet, but as soon I get a chance I'll drop a note.

Firefox backtrace with RenderBadPicture

It seems that Google Maps serves as an excellent reproduction case for
the Firefox crash. Opening Google Maps in a tab and closing it will
almost always result in a a RenderBadPicture within 3 attempts. Attached
is a backtrace from doing just that. Is it possible that this backtrace
is caused by aggressive XID reuse?

I wouldn't have expected RenderBadPicture from this bug.  If you can get
a stack when running Firefox with --sync, then it would be best to file
a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ under Core -> Widget: Gtk

The RenderBadPicture may be caused by running cairo master. If you are,
try downgrading to 1.8.8.

Yep, indeed I am running cairo from master. I just reverted and the
usual reproduction cases seem to be stable. This is evidently a known
issue? Has a bug been opened for it? Can I do anything to help? Thanks a
ton for your comment. I've been passively scratching my head over this
for weeks now.

I don't know if a bug has been filed, but I do know that it has been
talked about on the #cairo IRC channel, and that at least Chris Wilson
is aware of it.

I'm sure they'd appreciate a bisecting, although that's a bit painful to
do because the bug isn't 100% reproducible.

Yep, restarted my Xorg session in between tests which I thought should
be sufficient. Moreover, I'm fairly certain the newly installed
libraries did take effect after the restart as a scaling bug seen in
firefox in 1.8.8 reared its head again. So anyways, I'm fairly confident
that I did in fact establish that the bug predates 1.8.8, although it
strikes me as odd that it's not seen by more people.

My analysis into this bug indicates that the RenderBadPicture results
from a delayed cairo_surface_destroy() after firefox has called
XDestroyWindow() on the *parent* Window. In this situation firefox
should be calling cairo_surface_finish(), or cairo_surface_destroy() and
disposing of the cairo_surface_t, on the destroyed hierarchy.

So the RenderBadPicture is a separate bug (and not ours! ;-) from the
XID reuse.

Well, I haven't looked into this bug, but for me, it is definitely the
case that it happens with cairo master and not with 1.8.8.

Created an attachment (id=3D30180)
xtrace of a typical crash

Note that cairo calls RenderFreePicture (4ebda) immediately upon the
cairo_surface_finish() [which presumably is actually trigged by the
final cairo_surface_destroy() and is not being manually called], but the
drawable was destroyed much earlier (the DestroyNotify arrives at 47608)
and note that the drawable is never explicitly destroyed but is reaped
along with its parent (475f7).

The full trace is available at

hi all,

I am able to give you more comments about how that happen:

On an uptodated system, . xsession-errors don't show xid collision errors a=
fter boot process.
If i use Firefox, no warnings

but if i run both Firefox & audacious, errors start:

** (audacious2:22303): WARNING **: event-device-plugin: unable to load
config file evdev-plug.conf , default settings will be used.


** (audacious2:22303): WARNING **: Could not open file:///home/oem/.adplug/=
adplug.db for reading or writing: Erreur =C3=A0 l'ouverture du fichier=C2=
=A0: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
Warning: Unsafe event_queue of "hide seekbar" with pointer. (Use event_queu=
e_with_data_free instead.)

(firefox:16694): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

So, i'm thinking about a flashplugin problem.

as when I am viewing flash or retieving flash I do not see this=20
I do see that I can not stream more than five videos simultaneously=20

The critical thing about this bug is, that it floods .xsession-errors
from usually a few kb to megabytes.

Imho, this causes annoying useless disk activity/capacity and probably a
slightly slowdown/overhead.

This should be fixed.

we didnt change anything, so I assume that you are just lucky and do
not hit this issue temporarily for now ... most likely it will happen
again for you at some point.

Plan is to remove that warning output from gtk+ in a SRU still ...

I still get crashes from FireFox every few days.
Before each crash, I see one or more messages like this:
 (firefox:5290): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

The actual crash is usually a SEGV.  I think that it is a null pointer
dereference but I cannot be sure because GDB is unreliable with
optimized code.  (I have an example where gdb prints 0 for a pointer
variable but when I look at the assembly code I see that that variable
is not represented at that point in the code.)

I don't think my problem has anything to do with cairo because I don't
find RenderBadPicture in any of the tracebacks.  Am I being naive?
Should I look for something else?  I'm using an up-to-date Fedora 11 on
x86-64; cairo-1.8.8-1.fc11.x86_64; no flash plugin.

I'm attaching a very long typescript of a firefox session that failed
and a gdb of the resulting core file.  Perhaps someone could tell if

I think that the Cairo problems are a different bug and should have a
different bugzilla entry.

The original posting in this bugzilla entry describes a bug that I still
think is real.  I imagine that this is the bug that is afflicting me.

I'm attaching a very long typescript of a firefox session that failed
and a gdb of the resulting core file.  Perhaps someone could tell from
this if what I've said in this comment is wrong.

This has been a huge problem for me for at least the last 6 months, if
not the last year.  The only patch I've seen come out that addresses it
is http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=3D144074 from
the Gnome bug here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D581526 .
I've patched gtk with this patch (which conflicts with the xid collision
error hiding patch, which I removed) and am about to test this on my own
system from my PPA.

I'm all for a better solution to the XID problem and this certainly
doesn't seem to be a permanent fix (why can the X server even give out
conflicting XIDs at all?), but I really like having firefox run without
crashing a few times a day (even though I have 4-5 windows and typically
between 140-180 tabs open, total).

Anyone who wants to test out this patched gtk can get it off my PPA here:

You may want to view the following video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DfwIwZazMTgM

I created this video to clearly demonstrate at least one trigger for the XID
Collision message. I believe there are at least two triggers and that both
triggers are adobe flash 10 related.

You can see from the video that you should have re-createable real life test
cases for this problem.

I run a Gentoo installation.

For those familiar with Gentoo, at the end of the video, I run:

emerge -epv mozilla-firefox | less
emerge --info

I have saved the output of these to text files if anyone is interested. Just
contact me.

The reason is that the emerge -epv mozilla-firefox command will display eve=
ry
package and depencies required for mozilla-firefox. For the record, prior to
creating the video, I actually did re-compile every package in this list
(emerge -e mozilla-firefox) in order to ensure a clean run.

In the video, the left part of the screen is a konsole terminal window. The
right part of the screen is firefox. I start firefox with the command "fire=
fox
-sync' in the terminal window.

I have FF set up to start with a number of tabs. As I change focus from tab=
 to
tab, watch the terminal window. There are two tabs where changing focus cau=
ses
XID Collision messages to appear. It is particularly obvious that the error
messages are generated during flash activity. Note especially the generatio=
n of
messages as the flash window controls autohide and then re-appear. It's not
clear to me in the second tab (The Daily Show) what kind of flash control is
causing the messages. However, that site never seems to stop loading flash
objects. Or rather, my patience runs out before the flash downloads can
complete.

My reading of other people's problems suggest that x86 (i386) based systems
don't have this problem but please regard this as an unconfirmed data point.

In this thread in the Gentoo forums, I am 'dufeu':
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-788609-highlight-.html

The video best viewed in HD on a screen 1384x768 or larger. (full screen
mode)

Thank you all for your time and patience!

BTW - I did understand the discussion of asynchonous ID assignment and
release. However, while the problem seems to be properly identified, I'm
not sure that the exact trigger for invoking the problem has been
properly identified. I hope the video will be helpful. Unless I (as and
end-user) have completely misunderstood what I see, it's seems clear
that the actual trigger is probably flash 10.

Displaimer: I am only and end user. I am not a programmer.

Just wanted to report back--I've been using this patch since I posted my
previous response and noticed at one juncture experiencing a severe
memory leak, though I now believe that was prior to rebooting and may
have been from an already loaded library.  Since rebooting and using it,
I have not experienced any firefox crashes and have seen (running it in
a terminal) a number of XID collisions that it has managed to work
around.  So it seems that this may work until the XID issue is
permanently fixed.

I can personally confirm that it is not firefox that is causing the

@D. Hugh Redelmeier

I apologize, I had not read all the upstream comments.  It does seem to
be a more serious issue, but we're waiting on upstream now.  After
upstream fixes it, we might be able to patch the current versions of the
involved apps.

I searched and found this as partial solution.
use command
sudo aptitude reinstall firefox-3.5

this helped to reduce the problem.

As soon as I bring a tab to the foreground with an embedded flash player
content the XID warnings flood my console (Seamonkey is startet from a

flash content) XID warnings no more occur. It is enough to hide a flash

I don't think that the bug is related to Flash: I get it without having
Flash on my system.  I do think that Flash makes everything worse :-)

Again, I point to this bug report:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D21583

Unfortunately, that report has been diluted by a bunch of Cairo problem
reports that I believe have nothing to do with the underlying problem.
Pay attention to comments up to #5, then read the rest realizing they
may be about a different bug.

If I were an X programmer, I'd attempt to write a small test program to
duplicate the problem.

Firefox 3.5.8 on x86-64.   Note: I don't have Flash on the system.  The
fact that it is Fedora should not be important since this is an upstream
bug.

Removing the warning does not remove the bug, it just obscures it.

If the flood of warnings is a problem, perhaps a patch to rate-limit the
warning would be useful.


Here's what I observed during this event:

- FireFox opened a tab in a new window without the usual navigation bar
etc.  This is a sure sign that things have gone very wrong.

- I looked in stdout from FF and it did have the dreaded XID warning

- I closed the window that should have been a tab

- firefox printed "firefox: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily
unavailable) on X server :0.0." on stdout and quit

- No core file was produced even though I have the appropriate ulimit
cranked up

confirmed  previous post 86

its with Lucid installed on its own formated partition: i began to have
these warnings after installing flashplugin-installer 10.0.45.2ubuntu1
and viewing some video on web.

This problem came up with Karmic and a patch has been applied to stop
flooding .xsession-errors ( only hidding but better than nothing), now
Lucid show up this too with shockwave on my end.

So i've removed/purged theses packages and settings: result is no more
xid collisions (i'm using gnash instead)

As of Lucid Beta 2 kernel 2.6.32-21 and intel driver 2:2.9.1-3ubuntu5
still getting XID collisions with i845 video graphics.  Must be soaking
up some processor cycles and slowing things down.

I also get this warning but my situation is worse as Firefox freezes any
time I click on a menu item, Bookmarks Toolbar item or right-click on a
text box. Since this bug does not mention freezing, only annoying error
output, I started a new one, Bug #574617 for my type of situation. As
detailed in that bug report, reinstalling Firefox, xulrunner and
removing flash-plugin, as well as running in firefox --safe-mode does
not help.

For information, this "Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead"
message shows up repeatedly in my console when (and only when) i am
displaying a flash having parameter wmode=3D'transparent'. Removing this
parameter also removes the trace. I tried adding/removing the parameter
a dozen times and the behavior is pretty consistent:

	<embed id=3D"flash_object" src=3D"xxx.swf" quality=3D"high" bgcolor=3D"#86=
9ca7"
	  width=3D"100%" height=3D"100%" name=3D"XXX" align=3D"middle"
          flashVars=3D""
	  play=3D"true"
	  loop=3D"false"
	  quality=3D"high"
	  allowScriptAccess=3D"always"
	  type=3D"application/x-shockwave-flash"
	  wmode=3D"transparent"
	  pluginspage=3D"http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
	</embed>

shows "(firefox-bin:10775): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
" traces in the console

	<embed id=3D"flash_object" src=3D"xxx.swf" quality=3D"high" bgcolor=3D"#86=
9ca7"
	  width=3D"100%" height=3D"100%" name=3D"XXX" align=3D"middle"
          flashVars=3D""
	  play=3D"true"
	  loop=3D"false"
	  quality=3D"high"
	  allowScriptAccess=3D"always"
	  type=3D"application/x-shockwave-flash"
	  pluginspage=3D"http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
	</embed>

does not.

In my case, i doesn't change much since i need to have this 'wmode'
value to 'transparent'.

By the way, "wmode=3D'opaque'" also works. The point is not to have "wmode=
=3D'window'" (which is the default).=20
From the information i gathered around, this wmode parameter has a big impa=
ct on the way the flash is physically displayed in the window manager and a=
pparently affects this "XID collision" issue.

My guess is that this is a problem with flash. Nothing to do with Firefox o=
r GDK.
I am working on an Adobe Air application. Using the Air debug launcher. (ad=
l) The test application has Air running Flex running webkit running Flash a=
nd this is where this warning shows up. Anything without this second layer =
of flash does not have any problems.
My guess is poor GDK programming on the part of Adobe.

I think that Flash provokes the bug more often than other things, but I
don't think that this is a Flash bug.  Read my comment #92.

My desktop is Fedora 11.  I get these crashes regularly if I leave a lot
of tabs open for a long time.  I don't have Flash installed on the
system.  I don't know if there are particular web pages that provoke the
problem or just the shear quantity of them.

I think that this is the bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=
=3D21583
As with many bug reports, there is somewhat of a muddle.  In this case, Cai=
ro is mixed in and confusing things.

I can confirm this bug. The exact error I get is: "(firefox-bin:17547): Gdk=
-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead"
I'm running Mint Isadora X64 and firefox 3.6.3. The problem shows up in the=
 console when you run firefox from console. Initially, I had the problem wh=
ere multiple of this error would populate the console and if I went to a sp=
ecific website, or typed in a URL, the browser'd seg fault and instantly cr=
ash. So I found an entry in the ubuntu forums that suggested it was a probl=
em with adobeflash x64. I followed these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.=
org/showthread.php?t=3D1358591

Now, I still get the exact same message, but so far (last hour or so),
no seg faults and browser crashing. So I HOPE the new adobe flashplayer
at least will help firefox be more stable.

Peace

Do not open an other report for firefox 3.6 since the problem seems to be t=

I add the ubuntu firefox package to the list of the affected packages; sinc=

I was trying to troubleshoot a freezing Java applet for a friend, so I
started Firefox from the terminal.  After the Java applet froze, I
looked in the terminal and found a stream of the "...trouble ahead"
messages.

I've been able to consistently reproduce this on two systems now, so
maybe it is a usable test case.  The only caveat is you need to have a
TD Ameritrade account (which I don't).

Anyway, here's what I did:
1) I am using sun-java6 NOT openjdk/icedtea.
2) Open the TD Ameritrade Command Center.
3) Once the streamer has loaded, click on the settings button (looks like a=
 wrench) to open the streamer settings.  The settings window begins to appe=
ar, but is only partially drawn (no text), then it freezes up so badly that=
 the system monitor cannot kill the task.  Other applications can be used a=
nd closed, but the Java app will just sit there frozen until the system is =
rebooted.

This doesn't happen using Karmic, only Lucid.  I have tested it on two
systems, both using an Intel graphics chipset (I don't know if that
matters).  The next time I am over at my friend's place, I will try to
get more information so I can create a proper bug report.

Quick re-summary then.

Karmic looks like it was fixed (although it only seems to be me that
posted a confirmation.)

Lucid says "fix-released." I, and many others, are still seeing these
warnings in lucid. So, "fix" doesn't work, can someone suitably
qualified change the status back please, or state which symptoms they
think are fixed, and I'll open a new bug for anything that isn't fixed.

Flash *seems* to trigger it the most easily, although correlation is not ca=
usation.
On my system Firefox without flash, and Chrome, and very occasionally other=
 arbitrary GTK apps trigger it.

... and the bug is almost a year old. Oops. :-) Happy to help test
anything if required.

I have a new work laptop coming next week so I have an opportunity to
test a totally fresh install with all current updates, will do so and
report back.

Could I ask no-one else posts confirmations for now, we've got about 50
of those above already...

Annotated list of .xsession errors for IceWeasel in Knoppix 6.2.1

Added an attachment of sites with Flash content.

Some sites don't produce the XID collision warning, but some do.
Problem not always for video, but always for Flash, video or otherwise.
Hulu and Adobe are the most prolific of the sites I've found.

IceWeasel does NOT crash, just fills up .xsession-errors.

the flooding of .xsession-errors and hd activity/waste is most
annoying for the end user.

here's a workaround:
ALT+F2

gnome-session-properties ENTER

"Add"
Name: remove xsession-errors on login
Command: rm -f .xsession-errors*
Comment: cool

That's it. logout and login.

Note that is should be "rm -f .xsession-errors*"
-f means, that if no .xsession-errors* is there rm won't complain.

If you want to check your logfile again just disable the entry in
gnome-session-properties. logout and login.

What's the * for? You don't really want to remove every file starting
with ".xsession-errors", you ONLY want to remove the file ".xsession-
errors". I'd suggest doing:

sh -c 'rm -f ~/.xsession-errors'

Message-Id: <20100911042357.3357.64670.malone@soybean.canonical.com>

the * ist just because there is also a file called .xsession-errors.old

if you switch this on/off in your session-properties, in case you want
to view the log file, with this XID-collision flooding, it may happen,
that the .old-file also get's quite big.

maybe the * is too much, but it's not harmfiul for other files. of
course, your version is the exact way to do it. also the ' instead of "
are better.

@dino99:
I guess this is related to the flash plugin. I only get this error with ins=
talled flash plugin. Maybe the new preview releases from adobe fixes this. =
But I doubt it. Maybe it's not Flash's fault at all.

However, to work around the problem:

Do once in terminal: rm -f ~/.xsession-errors*

Then hit ALT+F2 and type gnome-session-properties

Add a new entry with the command: sh -c 'rm -f ~/.xsession-errors'

Add a description like "deletes xsession-errors at login"

Close, Log out and log in. You're done.

In your users home-dir you should have a .mozilla-folder, in that you
should have a plugins-folder. ~/.mozilla/plugins. Place the unziped so-
file to that destination after you've uninstalled the Debian-package.
You should do updatedb as root in Terminal to make sure it's recognized.

If you read enough of this bz entry, you will see that it cannot be
fixed by a new Adobe Flash.  Proof: I have the problem but don't have
Flash installed.

My best guess is that this is a GTK bug.  You will see hints of this if
you read the whole bz entry.  Or just look for GTK.

I am using 3.6.13 version of Firefox along with Adobe Flash player version =
10.0 in Ubuntu 10.04.
I am getting this error.

(<unknown>:1716): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead

I tried upgrading my Firefox version to 3.7 once but I found it was not at =
all a stable version and crashed multiple times.
so now I decided to use this version which is performing well except above =
warnings.

someone above has suggested to use latest Macromedia flash player.
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer10=
-3/flashplayer10-3_b1_lin_030811.tar.gz

I downloaded this file. It is a tar file. I extracted it.
Inside it, there is a file like *.so and one folder.
kindly let me know how to install that.

I am having multiple users in Linux. so I would want to install it in such =
a way that all the other users also can use the same flash player.
kindly let me know the steps.

if .deb kind of file exists for this flash player, then kindly give me the =
link.
Installing that is much easier and safer.


Yours
Chinmay

If it's not a flash issue, at least interferes with flash videos playback.
And perhaps it's a javascript issue.
Eg., I get "trouble ahead" all the time on videos like these: http://videos=

This should really be passed to the GDK guys as well (if no one has
beaten me to it meanwhile)

That "XID collision, trouble ahead" message originates from
/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.

@Chinmay

Well, I don't know about at .deb, but there is a package of the 10.3 player=
 (the FINAL version)
called flash-plugin-10.3.183.11-release.i386.rpm.

Just for test I tried installing it with=20
$ rpm -i --force-debian --nodeps flash-plugin-10.3.183.11-release.i386.rpm

and what I can I say, it worked! =3DD
For IceWeasel, I just had to symlink from /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashpla=
yer.so to /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins and voila!
BTW, don't be worried about the "--nodeps" override; RPM cannot correctly d=
etect dependencies on Debian and even does not know about existence of a sa=
ne libc6/libstdc++/whatever system, so it generally assumes you have litera=
lly "none" of the above. Though you do have those and they work.)

-

Besides, there is also a v11 package out meanwhile:
flashplayer-mozilla_11.1.102.55-0.2_i386.deb
This time, for IceWeasel, symlink from /usr/lib/flashplayer-mozilla/libflas=
hplayer.so to said Iceweasel plugins directory.

FWIW. Though it must be noted that it did not make these stupid error
messages disappear.

dormant and still broken are two different things...

bladernr@klaatu:~$ grep XID .xsession-errors  |wc -l
139

That's 139 instances in .xsession errors in the last 24 hours for me...

Not to mention the fact that SO MANY things are reporting errors into
xsession-errors these days (for me at least) that I have to delete the
log every few days as it very quickly grows to over 100GB in size...  I
think the last time I caught it, it went from 0 to 95GB in about a week
:(

I need to remember to start parsing that long and opening more bugs

@Jeff
i've often seen the xsession-errors errors/warnings going away after renami=
ng the .gconf .local .gnome2 then they are cleanly recreated on next boot. =
That should not exist with if packages updates was taking care of deprecate=
d settings/symlinks etc but the fact is.

I have also got this bug and here it is causing system crash. This bug exis=
ts after Ubuntu 10.04, at least for me. It is reproducible
by opening sites with flash content. Also for those who, this is just a log=
ging issue, well let me say, it is not. This is real problem and it should =
be fixed. I am also giving my system information so that developers can fix=
 this easily.

This seems more like a server issue.  I think it could easily be possible f=
or=20
the server to guarantee that XIDs are not reused within a certain time peri=
od=20
since it issued a DestroyNotify.  That won't guarantee that clients are hap=
py,=20
but it can certainly help.  We just need to store a timestamp of the time t=
he=20
XID was destroyed and if the head of the recycle queue is too recent, we=20
allocate a new XID rather than recycling.

Tracking for 1.12, but I'd consider this for 1.11.x if the change is simple=
=20
enough.
