[Bug 279240] Re: firefox dies mentioning RenderBadPicture and a failed assertion

[Ariel Faigon]

Just want to confirm I see this too very often.

Firefox 3.x used to be stable as a rock (no crashes for weeks) under
Hardy with KDE 3.5

After upgrading to Intrepid (KDE4, new QT, new Xorg) it started crashing
every hour or so with SEGV after the X assertion failure.  Here's how a
session looks like when I start firefox from a shell:

<code>
$ /usr/bin/firefox

(firefox:30311): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at
session startup.

(firefox:30311): atk-bridge-WARNING **: IOR not set.

(firefox:30311): atk-bridge-WARNING **: Could not locate registry


[Note: the above messages appear at startup, and are probably unrelated.
 then firefox works fine for a while and finally crashes with this:]


QPixmap: Invalid pixmap parameters
The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 955915 error_code 169 request_code 152 minor_code 7)
  (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.)
