Package: fvwm95 Version: 2.0.43ba-22 Followup-For: Bug #11286 I'm not using the TaskBar anymore these days as I find it redundant with the left and right clicks on the root window. But for the purpose of revisiting this bug I reenabled it and played with it a bit.
Note that my TaskBar is configured to 'auto-hide', which I believe is the default, and seems to have a lot to do with the problems below. Simply forking xterms did not cause the TaskBar to crash or enter an infinite loop. However: * with 28 or more open windows, the TaskBar pops up as if it had two rows, but still displays only one line. Resizing it manually fixes the problem, but it reappears as soon as you resize it back to only one line. The same happens with three, four and more rows as more windows are open. * I got it to get into an infinite loop twice where it did not react any more and used all the CPU. Once was with as little as about 30 windows, and the other time was with a few hundred. I'm not sure what triggered the infinite loop in either case. It might happen when it tries to hide/unhide. In any case, this looks very much like bug #40192: Fvwm95-TaskBar eating CPU. * I also got it twice in a situation where it decided to hide and would not pop up again. Once I managed to grab it and resize it to a full 8 rows and got it back to life. The second time resizing had no effect and I had to give up. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13.1apm Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages fvwm95 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libreadline4 4.3-15 GNU readline and history libraries ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxpm4 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X pixmap library ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X Window System client libraries m Versions of packages fvwm95 recommends: ii fvwm95-icons 2.0.43ba-22 Win95ish icons for X ii menu 2.1.25 generates programs menu for all me ii xbase-clients [xcontrib] 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 miscellaneous X clients ii xterm 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6 X terminal emulator -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
