Package: qiv
Version: 2.0-4.1
Severity: important
After setting X background with options "-x", "-y" or "-z", qiv exits
but leaves a connection to the X server opened.
This may cause the whole X system unusable if qiv is used several times
to set the background image; it soon reaches the maximum number of X
clients and every X application will fail.
Simple way to reproduce it:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ while qiv -x /tmp/logo.gif ; do : ; done
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached
Segmentation fault
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xhost
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached
xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: After doing that, NO X APPLICATION will work until you close any
one of them. To fix it, you will have to close manually some opened
window, and execute something like this:
for i in $( xlsclients -l | grep -B2 "Command: *qiv -x" | grep ^Window |
awk '{print $2}' | awk -F: '{print $1}' ) ; do xkill -id ${i} ; done
