Yes, that would be a better way of handling it. Apps using standard toolkits could authorize being debugged by the WM, and that would be done under the user's context instead of using a privileged process.
I assume the goal is to trace the application while it's looping for a few seconds before killing it? Will these result in something that is actually useful for the crash database? If not, just having compiz kill it should trigger apport in the normal way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006398 Title: Bypassing ptrace restrictions for errors from hanging applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie-daisy/+bug/1006398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
