After the last upgrade to xorg-server I find in /tmp:
... 316 Jul 7 02:06 xkb_H2DcsY
... 316 Jul 7 02:06 xkb_PTGhAv
Is this to be expected?
Now I have seen that /tmp is filling od xkb_* files each time I login (i.e.
XWin starts)... :(
Thanks for reporting this.
1.10.2-1 has a change to write the keymap to a temporary file and use system()
to run xkbcomp, rather than write it to a pipe and fork() xkbcomp (to avoid
fork() failures preventing the X server from starting), using code that
already exists for this purpose on for xming.
But it seems I had failed to add the patch that xming has to ensure that these
temporary files are cleaned up correctly.
I'll fix this and update the X server, but in the meantime you should be able
to remove these temporary files once the server has started with no ill
effects :-)
