System crashes when running command "xfce4-popup-whiskermenu" via "Super L"

I’ve got a weird “bug” (?) where my OS crashes after running the command “xfce4-popup-whiskermenu” via the shortkey “Super L” (the key with the Windows logo). This problem does not occur when running the same command via another shortkey, only “Super L”. After a reboot I cannot immediately reproduce this behavior, only after an hour or so of using the OS.

I am not sure if this is an Xfce problem or OS problem, as I haven’t been able to install another OS beside Manjaro on my brand new recent hardware. I’ve tried look if there’s a crashlog, but can’t find any.


Xfce version: 4.18.
GTK version: 3.24.36.
Operating System: Manjaro.
Kernel: Linux 5.15.91-1-MANJARO (22.0.2 Sikaris).
CPU: 13th Gen Intel i5-13600K
Memory: Corsair Vengeance CMK32GX5M2B5600C36.
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming Z TRIO 8G LHR.
MOBO: Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX.

Is that shortcut also set to another command?

Because of this I’ll not use Yakuake for a while, and, after searching for the “FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(440)] GPU process isn’t usable. Goodbye.” error, I’ve removed xfce4-notes from autostarting as well, even though the search results pertains automattic/simplenote.

  1. “Check coredumpctl”

Nothing relevant to see here, i.e., no data at times of a crash.

  1. “Check journalctl -b 0 or -b -1”
[x@i5 ~]$ journalctl -b 0

I was, disabled it.

Let’s see if it happens again. Thank you.
