Placing diagnostics in "uicb.c":
-- 8<---- snip ----
if(!globalconf.screens_info->xinerama_is_active && (tmp = getenv("DISPLAY")))
{
display = a_strdup(tmp);
printf("display '%s'\n",display);
if((tmp = strrchr(display, '.')))
*tmp = '\0';
snprintf(newdisplay, sizeof(newdisplay), "%s.%d", display, screen);
printf("newplay '%s'\n",newdisplay);
// setenv("DISPLAY", newdisplay, 1);
}
-- 8<---- snap ----
results in
-- 8<---- snip ----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/awesome-2.3.4$ echo $DISPLAY
tec7.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa:0.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/awesome-2.3.4$ ./awesome
display 'tec7.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa:0'
newplay 'tec7.0.168.192.in-addr.0'
-- 8<---- snap ----
Note that `display' is already not identical with $DISPLAY.
In 'common/socket.c/socket_getaddr()':
-- 8<---- snip ----
if(a_strlen(display))
{
printf("%s(%d): `%s'\n",__FILE__,__LINE__,getenv("DISPLAY"));
if((tmp = strchr(display, ':')))
real_display = tmp + 1;
else
real_display = display;
if((tmp = strrchr(display, '.')))
*tmp = '\0';
printf("%s(%d): `%s'\n",__FILE__,__LINE__,getenv("DISPLAY"));
}
-- 8<---- snap ----
-- 8<---- snip ----
common/socket.c(50): `tec7.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa:0.0'
common/socket.c(57): `tec7.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa:0'
-- 8<---- snap ----
My guess is, that the side effect there, i.e. clipping `getenv("DISPLAY")'
is unwanted (and plain evil if wanted) or at least unbalanced with the
operation of `uicb.c'.
Workaround: deactivate `setenv' in `uicb.c' as indicated above.
