Dear maintainer,
For the last year, I've been having problems with kaffeine on many different
distributions, both compiled from scratch and binaries, on both GNU/Linux and
BSD where kaffeine would crash upon closing the program down and would also
cause problems with Konqueror crashing while using the program as well as
crashing upon exiting Konqueror. It wasn't something that happened everytime
and it seemed to happen almost at random. It was to the point where I was
just going to completely stop using Kaffeine until a fix was found.
I believe I have stumbled across the proper fix for the problem. Checking
through Gentoo's bug tracker, I came across <a
href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86797">this bug report</a> for
the same problem I've been having with the program. It appears to be a
problem with xorg. After reading through the proposed solutions, I decided to
try it myself by modifying kaffeine's Port Makefile like so:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --build=${MACHINE_ARCH}-portbld-freebsd${OSREL}
...changed to...
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --build=${MACHINE_ARCH}-portbld-freebsd${OSREL}
--with-xorg
All stability problems I've had with Kaffeine as well as Konqueror have since
disappeared after installing kaffeine with this slightly modified Makefile.
For the record, I am using FreeBSD 5.4 RC3 with version 6.8.2 of xorg. If you
need any further information, feel free to contact me. I'm unsure if you've
experienced or heard of these crashes happening before, but I wanted to bring
it to your attention just in case.
Thank you for your time and your efforts in making FreeBSD a great operating
system.
