Crashes if launched from within GNOME3 about xbmc HOT 4 CLOSED

No issues here please. Use http://trac.xbmc.org or in this case first the forum to isolate the issue...

from xbmc.

Unfortunately the problem does exist on motherboards equipped with Intel GPUs. Even with newest kernels.
I started debugging the problem and it seems that in certain timing situations with full screen mode change the crash is sure.
It is also a problem on Unity and KDE in case the user turns on full screen desktop redirecting.

The crash occurs when the full screen change xrandr call is issued in xbmc/windowing/X11/WinSystemX11.cpp
I realized that putting some timing waits around the function call RefreshGLXContect() helps.
I used timings like:

glFinish();
glxSwapBuffers(m_dpy, m_glWindow)

I hope someone can pick this up to solve it. I'll be glad to do it, but still no time. I am working on the translation system at the moment.

@r-gaia-cs please do open up a ticket so we can start discussions and solutions there. Thanks.

This will be fixed in a second step after SDL has been dropped (merge of elupus' branch dropsdl).
