20 times that I auto-type my password, hello

Hi,
I use KeePass via mono to auto-type my password and it often crashes X
(1 in 20 times) and I am taken back to the login screen (gdm).

I believe it is a xdotool error, but I have not been able to reproduce
it myself. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=609908&aid=2999405&group_id=95013

Thanks,

Umang

This is much more likely an Xorg bug. Given the data in the bug you
filed with keepass, it looks like it is drm or a bug in the video
driver (i810). I'm not totally sure where the best place to file this
bug is at, though a good start might be to file it with whatever
distro you use.

Thanks for the reply. I had filed a bug for Ubuntu. I've added a
comment and provided a link to this page and the KeePass bug. I'll
wait and see what they say about what could be causing it (they've
also got a lot more information about my computer with the apport-
collect report, so hopefully they'll be able to locate it).
