Description

Guake is a top-down terminal for Gnome (in the style of Yakuake for KDE, Tilda or the terminal used in Quake).

It is written in python, and I do not think it uses a special window type - maybe I am wrong...

unagi output:
WARN: event_handle_error:186: X error: request=DamageCreate (major=152, minor=1, resource=140066a), error=BadDrawable
WARN: event_handle_error:186: X error: request=DamageCreate (major=152, minor=1, resource=e00099), error=BadDrawable

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I am using ubuntu precise pangolin, in a virtual box virtual machine, with pure vesa graphics.

I tried to use gdb, but that freezes the machine when I do sth with guake.. no keyboard or mouse events possible then - acpi shutdown works though

after trying to figure out whats going on I figured out that it could have also partly sth. to do with easygestures, the mouse gesture program I use. I can issue some gestures with no problem, others fail.

When I issue my gesture to activate guake, it reproduceably segfaults. When I use the keyboard for that, it works sometimes to show guake, but I also have seen segfaults here..

its definetely a problem with the guake window...

Thanks for your bug report. I tried to reproduce the issue with guake on Debian GNU/Linux (Sid), but I couldn't (unagi with guake seems to working quite well). Which version of unagi are you using BTW?

If you do a gdb in a terminal on the same X server running Unagi, it will freeze entirely your display when gdb will break somewhere in unagi as unagi is responsible of painting the screen... What you should do instead is run gdb outside of X or use Xephyr (as explained in the README) and run gdb. You can also try with a coredump (generated after doing "ulimit -c unlimited" and upon SIGSEGV). Thanks for your help!

it's the 0.3.1 package from debian actually..
