gok: don't start and steal/disable primary mouse
Last modified: 2005-12-23 20:57:46 UTC
I tried to start gok under KDE. It doesn't start and steal/diabled the primary mouse. Only the pen of my tablet pc is working after the crash. I get this messages if i tried to start from konsole: 5 event types available login mode = false Word prediction dictionary contains a total of 3000 words (gok:16587): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_destroy: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed ** Message: corepointer detached... The program 'gok' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadClass, invalid event class'. (Details: serial 892 error_code 171 request_code 145 minor_code 6) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
This bug is already present in SUSE 10.0 RC1
The same crash with one different line: (Details: serial 2314 error_code 171 request_code 145 minor_code 6)
gok is really for GNOME accessibility and requires some setup in gnome-session. I don't think this is really major - is there no KDE onscreen keyboard?
Yes, I know gok is for gnome (and IMO it also doesn't work so perfect under GNOME), but since gok is in my KDE menu it should work also under KDE or it should display a warning message like "You can start GOK only under GNOME." and not start. In fact: if it not work under KDE it should not be in the menu.
Gary, lets add the .desktop property to only show it under the GNOME menu system.
Fixed in STABLE.
