I can not reproduce the problem on my Debian squeeze box.
Which type of graphics card or chips (nvidia, ati or intel) do you use?
If you use any hardware acceleration, try to turn it off.

Test done.

I have disable hardware acceleration, reboot my computer (old Windows habit) 
then let my computer on all the night.

This morning gPhotoframe was bugged

One more information, after gphotoframe bugged I can't read any video (totem 
crash, vlc show black screen)

I don't whats the source of the problem gphotoframe which crash a X library or 
a videao library which crash gphotoframe.

Tonight (maybe) I will try the make the following test, my computer on without 
gphotoframe then at the morning try to read video (and launch gphotoframe)

Thanks for your reporting!

> This morning gPhotoframe was bugged

Does gphotoframe show a partial picture?

> I don't whats the source of the problem gphotoframe

gphotoframe is a python script.  The source code itself can't crash X.  The 
problem should be in Ubuntu 10.10.

You can disable the clutter library support though UI icons will not be 
displayed without the support.

  aptitude remove python-clutter-gtk

It did the tricks, this morning (after all night on) gphotoframe was OK
Great

Must I open a new bug on another project (clutter library) ?

I'm not sure.

Clutter library has no bug.  gphotoframe with Clutter library works perfectly 
on my Debian squeeze box.

The problem should be in Ubuntu 10.10.  But python-clutter and 
python-clutter-gtk packages are not official Ubuntu packages.

OK, you can close the issue if you want
I will try to re-install python-clutter-gtk on the next version of Ubuntu....

I added new gconf key ui/disabel_clutter.
You can disable clutter library support with gconf:

  gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gphotoframe/ui/disable_clutter true
