Bug 342151

Description Mats-Ola Persson 2011-04-07 09:01:10 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110218-0911

You are able to crash Eclipse if you close the java web start (jws) console[1] while showing a modal dialog from Application.start.

The application outputs:

The program 'example' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 835 error_code 3 request_code 20 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.)

I am using java version 1.6.0_24

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable the Java web start (see details on how to enable)
2. Download the attached code and update the *.jnlp-files to reflect your environment (setting <jnlp codebase=...>).
3. Run from a terminal "javaws example.jnlp" and the modal dialog pops up
4. Hit close in the console window
5. Application crashes and the error described in details is output.
