------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jul 25 08:57:26 +0000 2008 ------- Fixing issue 90094 leaves us with some systems on which soffice cannot start anymore. This is due to a bug in the X11 libraries which deadlock on their own mutex; a behaviour which is enabled by calling XInitThreads to make the X11 libraries thread safe. The latter is necessary since nowadays there are concurring threads (e.g. with java extensions) which access X11 outside our control, so our own locking mechanism that ensured only one thread at a time can access X11 is now incomplete. This X11 bug was fixed in newer versions of the X11 libraries. For systems that show this X11 deadlock we should however add a method to disable calling XInitThreads, therefore having the same behavior as before 3.0. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
