390758 - crash when switching on chat in GMail

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 304370

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Wim Vanderbauwhede]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6

This is the error message:

The program 'gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 120 error_code 8 request_code 146 minor_code 3)
  (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.)




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into GMail
2. switch from "standard without chat" to "standard with chat"

Actual Results:  
Browser crashes with the above error

Expected Results:  
GMail with chat activated. Up to 2.0.0.4 this worked fine

My system:

Mandriva Spring 2007
Kernel:
2.6.17-5mdv i686
GLIBC:
glibc-2.4-8mdv2007.1
X.org:
Name        : xorg-x11                     
Version     : 7.1.0
Release     : 6mdv2007.0

Likely a dupe of Bug 304370. See bug 304370 comment 5 for a workaround.

The other option is to upgrade to Flash 9, where this bug is fixed. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html

Thanks guys, setting color depth to 24 fixed it.
