[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#869246: virt-viewer crashes on first graphical guest-client-login

[dennis knorr]

Package: virt-viewer
Version: 5.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

   When i start my system, i start the network and then start my
   virtualmachine with debian stretch in it. 
   Then i login into my virtualmachine and then virtviewer crashes.
   after restarting virt-viewer i see the running session.

   I can reproduce that with every new reboot. Further on, when i log
   out of my virtual machine and try to relogin, this does not work for
   a while and the loginmanager switches from english to german and back
   
   after a view tries, the login works and the viewer crashes again.

   i tried to start virt-viewer in the command line and got the
 rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

   @dklalaptop01:~$ sudo virt-viewer debian9_01

   (virt-viewer:15088): Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to SpiceDisplay
   0x555959466390 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height().
   How does the code know the size to allocate?

   (virt-viewer:15088): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'virt-viewer' received an
   X Window System error.
   This probably reflects a bug in the program.
   The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
   (Details: serial 15305 error_code 8 request_code 139 (RENDER)
   minor_code 27)
   (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 GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
    variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful 
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
   Trace/Breakpoint ausgelöst

   please forgive the copy and paste problems :)
   i tried to use libvirt with vagrant a few weeks back, but i think,
   that should change nothing with virt-viewer? 
   
   if you have any other ideas how i an debug/analyze this for this bug,
   i would be glad.
   thanks.
