Bug#660156: gedit: Kills synergys randomly

[Jean-Yves Barbier]

Package: gedit
Version: 3.2.6-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

There's an interraction with synergys: gedit seem to kill it when moving mouse
cursor to the other screen.
gedit & synergys: sid
synergyc: squeeze
This happens when synergys is launched either by root or a user.

Here are the server & client launch scripts:
#!/bin/sh
killall -9 synergys
sleep 1
synergys --daemon --restart -c /etc/synergy.conf --display :0 $1 $2 $3   (no
parm is used)

#!/bin/sh
killall -9 synergyc
sleep 1
synergyc --restart synsvr.locnet

   * What led up to the situation?

Repetitive synergys death when working with gedit.
Unfortunately, this behaviour is random: sometimes (not much) synergys continue
to live.

There's also another glitch: if gedit is open since a long time (~2-4H) and I
used it a lot, the death of synergys render the gedit cursor invisible - this
is fixed the second synergys is re-launched.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

I've got no solution (except a cron to would relaunch synergys, but I don't
like this).

   * What was the outcome of this action?

-

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

gedit cooperating correctly w/ synergys without crashing it.

I also confirm bug #360535, even navigating on the not seen part of a long line
makes the CPU raise to 100%
