that's odd then - if a rearrange my code so i call create 1 then write 1 then create 2 then write 2 it works perfectly. if i call create 1 create 2 write 1 write 2 it fails with the X error i mentioned. (where 'create' does all the shm stuff and creation of the ximage and 'write' does the 'XShmPutImage' so i don't need to save/restone any of the XShmSegmentInfo then ? > Segments don't disappear until after they are removed and the last > process attaching to them has detached.
