Yes, I have seen it, but I don't know what to do about it... Don't know 
why the database is locked. It was the only digikam process (I checked 
before starting the test) and there should be nobody else accessing that 
database...

These images I used for the test today are from a canon 5 Mk 2 that 
doesn't have geo data. But it also happens with images from a Mk 4, that 
has gps data.

I've seen this. I thought "BadWindow" was a Linux-message about bad, bad 
microsoft (joke, :-) ). Of course I don't know what this could mean, 
where it comes from and what I can do about it...

I do have problems with my graphics card. It is an asus laptop with this 
nvidia/intel optimus thing, something that Linux obviously can't handle.

I tried many things with hints from opensuse mailing lists and it is 
possible that my display things are f***ed-up for the many changes and 
back-changes - but I have no idea where to look and how to find out. 
Actually it only runs with the poor power of intel graphics, nvidia is 
there for nothing...

I guess trying with a fresh user wouldn't change anything???

No, these are old photos, just the jpg's as they came out of the camera 
and without color management.
