[Bug 1040271] Re: showDesktop encountered a problem after right-clicking on icon

 

Thank you for this backtrace of the crash!

Do you have two monitors and do you use Xinerama extension (option of
your video card) and did you enable Cairo-Dock's Xinerama (advanced mode
of the config panel / Position module)? What's your video card and its
drivers (and which version of these drivers + how did you install these
drivers)?

*@fabounet*: I think the issue is maybe due to the use of Xrandr functions when this X extension is not enabled (it seems that Xrandr supersedes the now-obsolete Xinerama[1] and this is why if Xinerama is enabled, it disables Xrandr).
But this is strange to have a crash now and not before. It's maybe due to the new video drivers?

[1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/xinerama/ => "As of 2007-09-20, this
project is no longer under active development."

Note: this what we can find about the 1.4 version of XRandr:
  Version 1.4 adds a new object called a provider object. (...)
  Provider roles can be dynamically configured to provide support for: (...)
   4) multiple GPU rendering - This replaces Xinerama.
