[Bug 187865] Re: [Hardy 8.04 i386 alpha daily 20080131.2] apport does not open Firefox after collecting crash data

[Stanley Sokolow]

The first time I ran the ubuntu-bug command, the apport window opened
and it collected info, but it closed, and then nothing. I don't recall
whether it also uploaded files.  I ran it again and this time it
collected, uploaded, and opened a Firefox window to report the bug in
Launchpad.  I went further along with the bug report, which seemed to
work normally, but I closed Firefox before actually submitting a bogus
report.   Then I ran ubuntu-bug  a third time.  Here's the terminal
output:

overbyte at Northgate-U804d131:~$ ubuntu-bug -p evolution
overbyte at Northgate-U804d131:~$ ubuntu-bug -p evolution
overbyte at Northgate-U804d131:~$ The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 273 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Since the behavior was inconsistent and sine the X error message above
explains that error reports are asynchronous, maybe this bug is a race
condition.
