Long pauses in applications maybe due to gpbs : Timed out waiting for X...

[Philippe Roussel]

Hi all,

Running svn trunk on 32 bits Ubuntu 10.04 (xorg 1.7.6 I think), I can
observe really often long pauses in Gorm, SimpleAgenda and others. I
just found out that gpbs is logging errors like this (with SimpleAgenda,
I didn't try others) :

2011-01-27 21:35:14.082 gpbs[27311] GNU pasteboard server startup.
2011-01-27 21:35:18.505 gpbs[27311] <PasteboardObject: 0x9cda098> get data for 
type 'NSStringPboardType' version 1
2011-01-27 21:35:38.515 gpbs[27311] Timed out waiting for X selection 
'UTF8_STRING'
2011-01-27 21:35:38.516 gpbs[27311] <PasteboardObject: 0x9cda098> set data for 
type 'NSStringPboardType' version 1
2011-01-27 21:35:38.516 gpbs[27311] set data for 0x9cd6478
2011-01-27 21:35:38.516 gpbs[27311] get data for 0x9cd6478

You can see the timeout defined in xpbs.m:590. The panel unblocks right
when 'Timed out..' appears.

Is this a problem on my side (one more I should say..) ?

Thanks,
Philippe
