OpenSUSE 11.1 Compiz and QT4

[csgib]

It seem that there is a problem with compiz on OS 11.1.
When you launch a qt4 app it crash compiz (with or without emerald) on GNOME.

If someone can help ... I try original pckage and update ones form XGL repo ...

Same problem here
Each time a kde application is stopped (okular), compiz crashes.

If I disable the "fade" effect in ccsm, compiz process does not crash but all windows disappear. I'm left with a rotating cube !

Same here, I think.

I didn't see the qt4 link but I did see that it happens with certain apps (qt4?) in combination with effects like ctrl+alt or a window that becomes the focussed window.

The whole screen freezes. Seen it on ATI and on NVidia.

Only QT4 application,I can not use vlc and skype.

Yes QT4 apps (googlearth), I can run some QT3 apps (kooka).

I have found a workaround: install Cybergorg compiz !

CyberOrg » Compiz on openSUSE 11.1

I have blindly followed the steps and I can run any applications under compiz.

Thank you, olivn, your solution solved my problems with Ktorrent and Amarok 2.0 killing Compiz when I closed them. I would like to add that in addition to the instructions you linked, I also had to go into software manager in Yast and make sure I was using the X11:XGL versions of all Compiz-related packages because Compiz window decoration would either refuse to load, or certain plugins wouldn't load until I had all matching packages. Do not mix X11:XGL and normal OSS Compiz packages.

This problem definitely seems specific to QT4 programs, since I can run Amarok 1.4 just fine without this problem, but Amarok 2.0 killed my Compiz.

Can someone tell us if the problem exist in 64 bits or just in 32 bits edition ?

[dhwalker]

It happens to me in 64-bit.
