Re: Anyone using xmonad + vim on sid?
I can reproduce this with another (tiling) windowmanager: Debian Sid (upgraded today) with wmii. It works as long as I keep the window on the screen where I started gvim. When I move it to my second screen it freezes, resulting in the error you quoted on the terminal. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Anyone using xmonad + vim on sid?
If I start gvim in a tiled terminal window it locks up and the following messages appear in the terminal: E852: The child process failed to start the GUI [xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue [xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. gvim: ../../src/xcb_io.c:273: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed. Vim: Caught deadly signal ABRT Press ENTER or type command to continueVim: Finished. --- If I start gvim from a fullscreen terminal (apart from the first one I open) it works correctly. As a workround I've aliased gvim to gvim -f. This happens in two machines running Sid. It does not happen in another running Squeeze. I have asked about it on the vim and xmonad mailing lists but no result; at least one person says he cannot reproduce the error. I've reported it as a Debian bug but so far have only had a routine acknowledgement. If there is anyone else using this setup, could they please see if they can reproduce it?

I can only say that I don't have any problems running (g)vim while using awesome. That's interesting: I just tried awesome and I couldn't run gvim from a terminal at all; it came up blank. But I think the problem I've been getting with xmonad may not be real, or at least not serious. The same thing happens in dwm, and it seems that the messages that appear are due to closing gvim. I can edit and save files without anything going wrong. So gvim from a tiled terminal is usable, just a bit ugly when it is closed. -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk Microsoft-free zone - Using Debian GNU/Linux http://www.acampbell.org.uk - sample my ebooks at http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/acampbell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
