           Summary: Cronometer crashes my KDE session.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: linuxguy123 at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Cronometer crashes my kde sessions.  It works fine in gnome. 

http://spaz.ca/cronometer/

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

cronometer: 0.95

Cronometer worked fine in KDE 4.2.2.  It started crashing in KDE 4.2.3.  I
initially reported it in early June, 2009 with the following.

$ rpm -q kmod-nvidia
kmod-nvidia-180.51-1.fc10.5.i686

$ rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-4.2.3-1.fc10.i386


How reproducible:

It was every time until yesterday.   Yesterday I ran cronometer with no
problems.   Today it crashed the session again.

I believe the problem appeared with kde 4.2.3.  It ran fine on kde 4.2 before
that. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install cronometer
2. Run it.   
3. Move the application around a bit.


Actual results:

It looks like it corrupts the redrawing of the screen.  Mouse function is
affected too... or at least it seems to be.  Maybe its just a redraw thing.

The only way to save the machine from crashing outright is to immediately exit
the session.

I believe cronometer uses the Swing library.   Are other Swing applications
experiencing the same problem ?

Expected results:

It should run without crashing the session.

I initially reported the bug here. 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504173  They dismissed it as an
nvidia problem because that was the bug flavor of the month, but we've had
several KDE and nvidia releases since then and its still a problem.

The current release information for this problem is:

$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Sep 25
04:56:58 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

rpm -q kdebase
kdebase-4.3.1-2.fc11.i586

$ yum list akmod\*
Installed Packages

akmods.noarch                   0.3.6-3.fc11

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks for listening.
