[Bug 659473] [NEW] gitk crashes entire X session

 

Public bug reported:

When I attempt to run the command "gitk" on another host, using my laptop
(now running Ubuntu 10.10) as the DISPLAY, my entire X session (i.e., my
whole session since logging in) dies and I'm sent back to the login screen.

My system is a Dell Latitude E6500
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M video
Ubuntu 10.10
Linux doink 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am running with the built-in display (1920x1200) plus an external 1920x1200
display via one of the DVI connectors on a DELL EPort Plus docking station.  A
little while ago I attempted the same thing without the second monitor attached
(and without the docking station) and the command showed me a window as I
expected.

This is a command I used routinely with the same hardware configuration
prior to the upgrade.

I can provide other information on request.
