I've been trying to get textsuggest to work without success.
- textsuggest-server is started, ktrace shows it loads a dictionary
- textsuggest -l en, opens a window empty, if I type a word nothing is
suggested but I see each search within the textsuggest-server output
I tried within MATE and Gnome3.
I worked to update textsuggest to last version to see if it help,
update wasn't straightforward and lead to an issue when using
--auto-selection , it crashes the textsuggest-server with this message:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty)
Resource id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 459
Current serial number in output stream: 459
pthread_mutex_destroy on mutex with waiters!
I share the diff to update textsuggest if someone wants to check.
xdotool is required for building now, and textsuggests looks for xdo.h
and will link against libxdo.
Most patches got updated due to changes, but I had to fix by hand
Commands.cpp, especially a catch { } which produced a
compilation error (maybe some other compiler allow this syntax)
