Gaim Crashing X

2003-07-25 Thread Rus Foster
Hi All,
I've beenfinding that when running gaim that its causing X to crash back
down to the shell prompt. This has happened with both vesa, nv and nvidia
drivers. Doing a latest buildworld still hasn't helped. Anyone got any
insite in to this?

This is more of an anecdote than anything else, since I don't have any
systems running -current at the moment, but it might be helpful in
tracking it down.

I haven't had it crash X, but it tends to die with SIGILL when someone
logs out; turning on show offline buddies makes it happen less often. 

If it's dying after sending a partial X protocol request to the server,
that would probably do it; XFree86 doesn't seem to deal with that very
well, in my experience.

Can't say I've ever had a problem of any kind with X and gaim in current (or 
any flavor for that matter).
