It works! I restarted my system for the first time the other day, after 37 days of up-time. I'm pleased to report that I did not experience any noticeable slow down in switching between X windows. I also noticed that X shutdown much quicker than before (sometimes it would take between 5-20 minutes); others have reported this issue and suggested it has to do with X cleaning up the massive number of X key grabs.
I don't believe that there were any cumulative slowdowns at all; based on my observation that after performance was the same before the reboot and after the reboot. So, that said. What can I do to get some attention on this issue? As much fun as is it to patch and rebuild xorg myself, I'd rather not; and X is is basically unusable after a few days without the patch. I see there are a lot of "new" and "unconfirmed" bugs for the xorg-server, so how can I promote this one? I have a have a link to the patch, which to my understanding, has been applied upstream. But I'd prefer not waiting until Gusty+1 to be released. -- [patch] XGrabKey allows several grabs on the same key by the same client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
