https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187552

           Summary: Applications crash on menu item selection
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: john at nurfuerspam.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I'm not sure if this is directly connected to KDE but rather xserver, and there
seem to be a lot of bugs like that out there, so it's probably a duplicate.
Anyway:

Whenever I try to use a non-KDE application under Kubuntu Intrepid, it crashes
as soon as I click on the menu. This problem exists since dist-upgrade.

reproduced several times for gimp, evince, rkward, gthumb

bash output for gimp, similar for the others:

The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.         
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 25362 error_code 2 request_code 53 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.)
