Product: Fedora

echo of "strace emacs xxxx"
Description of problem:
When editing remotely a file using emacs (eg in a vnc window) and scrolling it
fast (eg with the down arrow kept pressed) emacs crashes all the times
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libgxim-0.3.2-4.fc10.x86_64
libgxim-0.3.2-4.fc10.i386
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a vnc connection. Edit a file using emacs
2. Scroll the file keeping the down arrow (or equivalent) pressed
3. Observe emacs crashing
Actual results:
emacs crashes
Expected results:
there should be no problem
Additional info:
reverting to libgxim-0.3.1-1 fixes the problem. The problem has been verified
on both i386 and x86_64. It does not depend on the network speed, even opening
a vnc session on the same machine results in emacs crashing. The only error
message visible on the screen is
Connection lost to X server `:1.0'
I am sorry to report a further problem with the new libgxim, but it appears to
be definitively not ready for prime time, breaking to many critical
applications in unpredictable ways
