This appears to be a problem with a known fix. Symptoms: firefox and other programs crash with BadIdChoice errors. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458092 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458657 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/220628 https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/255195 It looks as if this has been tracked down. Start of thread: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2009-January/004247.html Note that this thread crosses a month boundary so that threading in the archive doesn't get you to postings in February. Continue here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2009-February/004287.html The latest proposed patch is attached to this: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xcb/2009-February/004326.html except that I don't see the attachment. Perhaps scrubbed by the archiver. This version seems to have it: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xcb/4192 Subsequent messages suggest that a little polishing is still going on.
see (and consider testing) the proposed patch http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xcb/4317/focus=4324 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xcb/4324 The conversation appears to be in the mozilla bugzilla even though this would seem to be a better forum.
