Package: xfce4
Version: 4.4.1
Severity: important
Hi,
I have a very strange problem that occures when using some audioplayers under
xfce4. It sounds quite possible that the problem is caused by a certain
audio-related library that is just used by xfce4, but I was not able to fully
track down the problem. To get some more facts I tried to discuss on
debian-devel how to get more information. Here are the relevant postings:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/11/msg00041.html and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/11/msg00045.html
I observed this behavour when using audacious and xmms in every occurance
perfectly reproducible. Other application did also caused the problem but
I was unable to reproduce it easily. When I start one of these mentioned
applications the keyboard does not accept any key any more so I'm even unable
to switch to console or something like that. I can move the mouse cursor
but no klick event is regarded. Tis is even reproducible in Xephyr as
I described in the second link.
Please read the information I provided in the above links where I went
into more detail and feel free to ask me for any information I woould
happyly provide to track down this issue.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining xfce4
Andreas.
