[OpenIndiana-discuss] gdm freezing

[Jim Klimov]

Hi, all
 
Does your issue seem similar to mine, briefly mentioned in another thread on VirtualBox, and finally reported here: https://www.illumos.org/issues/5103 ?
In particular, if yours ever re-occurs, can you try my workaround (restart metacity) to see if these are related?
 
For a quick test, to avoid the "complexity" of my workaround before you are sure you too need it, you might just fire up an xterm, kill and start metacity as the current desktop user as a pre-emptive strike, and leave that terminal running in the (bottom) corner to watch the window manager's logs. In my case, the WM "freezes" usually correlate with this message:
 
Window manager warning: CurrentTime used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct.
Window manager warning: Got a request to focus the no_focus_window with a timestamp of 0.  This shouldn't happen!
 
 
HTH,
