The fact that this is reproducible should make it easier to debug and fix.

It would be interresting to know if the "--no-clipboard" server flag prevents the crash, it should. (not a solution obviously, just to narrow it down)

FYI: you should be able to use the xpra flag "--use-display" to re-start the xpra server against the existing Xvfb display, no need for VNC.

Antoine, hey, I didn't notice that you had commented on the bug! Can you check if trac is configured to send email alerts?

while true; do
xpra --no-daemon --use-display start :7
sleep 3
done

allows me to recover from crashes.

Using --no-clipboard on both server and client side does not seem to have any effect.

More concrete steps to reproduce:

1. start firefox
2. goto www.google.com
3. select some text (do not copy it or anything, just select)
4. drag the selected text with mouse a few times to random places on the page

=> xpra prints

The program 'xpra' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 25634 error_code 3 request_code 12 minor_code 0)
  (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.)

So it looks like a gtk bug as this is firing directly from the gtk main loop.

Hmm, I've just tried repeatedly to get the crash with r577:

• with a win32 xpra client connecting to an openbsd server with an xterm where I ssh -X to a Linux box and start firefox - (similar setup to #64)
• with a linux box to another linux box (via xpra) and back (via ssh -X)

Still no luck, getting any crashes. Can you still reproduce it?
(I did get one problem once when I dropped the selection onto the local system where the firefox window seemed to lose focus with no way of regaining it - but no crashes)

Also, I may have been wrong in thinking that this code fires directly from the main loop, using gdb with the python debug symbols may reveal to us where the get_pointer() call is coming from.
Please see Debugging with Gdb: on Debian all you need is the pythonN.M-dbg package then gdb python $PID
