This is completely unrelated to systemd, no?
Comment by JM (justm3) - Thursday, 25 February 2021, 07:24 GMT
This is how it is reported by the journal. I think you stand correct but I did not know how to report it otherwise.
Would you like to delete it and I could re-submit specific to xfwm? I'll be happy to do it if you wish.

Updated the details and assigned to foutrelis for xfwm4.

BTW... using Xfce myself, I do not see this.

Look for the actual XError message similar to  FS#69095  (the "BadWindow" line and the one after it). You might need to run startxfce4 from the command line to see the error, if it's not in the journal and/or ~/.xsession-errors.

I can't seem to locate it. Attached file .xsession=errors
   xsession-errors (10.5 KiB)

Your attached file seems to be using the 5.10 LTS kernel; retry with 5.11.
Comment by JM (justm3) - Thursday, 25 February 2021, 14:18 GMT
Very sorry for that, I forgot that it changes when I switched to the lts.
Attached again with 5.11.1

Created an issue upstream: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/issues/519

Feel free to post additional details such as GPU information there. Keep in mind that it will be hard to investigate if it's not producible for others.

@justm3: Can you provide the backtrace requested by upstream? [1] You'll probably need an xfwm4 build with "options=('!strip')", then do something like "export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1; startxfce4" in a console and check if coredumpctl and/or journalctl show a backtrace with (xfwm4) symbols.

@foutrelis
Attached coredumpctl.
Will follow with journalctl
I did not rebuild xfwm4
   coredumpctl (0.1 KiB)
Comment by JM (justm3) - Sunday, 28 February 2021, 18:34 GMT
@foutrelis
Attached journalctl

Let me know if these files suffice.
   journalctl (0.8 KiB)
Comment by Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis) - Sunday, 28 February 2021, 18:37 GMT
You need to rebuild xfwm4 with "options=('!strip')" and post a backtrace with symbols to the upstream bug so I don't have to play messenger. :)

Also try something like "coredumpctl info" instead of just "coredumpctl" which doesn't show the backtrace.

@foutrelis
I am sorry to be a hassle. I was not aware of the procedure.
Take care and tks a mil.
Comment by Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis) - Tuesday, 02 March 2021, 09:35 GMT
Try this "options=(!strip debug)" build: https://pkgbuild.com/~foutrelis/xfwm4-fs69775/

Then, if you start Xfce from the console using "export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1; startxfce4", you should be able to get a backtrace with symbols (viewable with "coredumpctl info").
Comment by Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis) - Sunday, 07 March 2021, 11:33 GMT
Have you had a chance to test the above package to see if it produces a symbolized backtrace?
