Some qt only programs are crashing opening the "Open File" dialog

Hello Archers,

I'm having some trouble to find out what's crausing the crashes, so i can properly fill a bug report upstream.

Here is the issue:

* After an upgrade from glibc 2.13-5 to glibc 2.14-4, some qt-only apps are crashing when i open the "Open File" dialog. This only happens when using specific KDE 4.6.4 or KDE 4.6.5 styles, like Oxygen and QtCurve.

* Before i upgrade KDE from 4.6.4 to 4.6.5, i downgraded glibc and its dependencies to glibc 2.13-5 and the bug was gone. After upgrading KDE to 4.6.5, i didn't try the downgrade again because KDE 4.6.5 requires glibc 2.14 and the process of downgrading become unsustainable.

* I tried removing the crashing apps data from my home directory and the crash still exists. I also tried to create a new user and start the apps from that new environment and the apps crashes, so the bug is not user-specific.

* I tried replacing the binary nvidia driver with xf86-video-nouveau but the issue persists.

* The apps crashing (and not applying the kde theme) are the following:

=> opera 11.50
When opening the "Open File" dialog, it crashes with the following message:

------------- begin ---------------------------------
$ opera --sync

(operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400034 unexpectedly destroyed

(operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400033 unexpectedly destroyed

(operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400032 unexpectedly destroyed

(operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x740001c unexpectedly destroyed
The program 'operapluginwrapper' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 547 error_code 3 request_code 18 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.)

------------- end ---------------------------------

=> vlc 1.1.10
When opening the "Open Directory" dialog, it crashes with the following message:

------------- begin ---------------------------------
$ vlc

VLC media player 1.1.10 The Luggage (revision exported)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")
[0x9884a7c] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[0x97e28fc] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
Segmentation fault

------------- end ---------------------------------

* Using other qt-only apps, like qmmp or UMPlayer the bug doesn't occur.

So, what do you thing of this? Am i the only one with this issue? I already reported the bug report on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24991 and https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/, but since i latter found out that this is not opera specific, i don't know where to fill the report.

Thanks in advance.

OK, forget what i said about the bug being specific of Oxygen and QtCurve KDE styles. It's crashing with other styles too.

First thing that comes to mind is the question:
is you kernel updated too? I know that newer glibc are required to use new kernel functions, so maybe there are some incompatibilites too.

i posted a bug report regarding qt designer which may be related: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24916

Thanks for answering. My kernel version is 2.6.39.2 from extra. All packages were updated with "pacman -Syu" this morning.

kachelaqa, can you please confirm if it happens with vlc or opera too? Thanks for helping.

i had to install vlc and opera to test - but i'm afraid i don't get the errors you are seeing.

so far, qt designer is the only application i've found that crashes when opening file dialogs.
