ISTR that the message I'm getting is "maximum number of clients reached 255".

Also, shouldn't xlsclients tell me if I have ghost windows? If not, is there some other way I should be checking?

Thanks!

Dan,

What makes you think you're hitting a client limit?  Have you check to make
sure that the X applications you're using are actually quitting when you
think they are?

Cheers,

Subject: Maximum number of clients reached?

I keep bumping up against the maximum number of clients. Sometimes I'll have as few as 38 windows open (according to xlsclients), and still I hit the limit.

I like to log in, and stay logged in a long time, leaving lots of windows open so I can flip back to the quickly and easily using a large pager in fvwm2. Because I keep hitting this limit, I have to kill all my windows and start over from time to time. Perhaps in a windows environment that's unsurprising, but in the Linux world, it's weird.

I've had the same problem for a long time - across multiple OS upgrades. I'm currently having the problem with the openSUSE 10.3 version of Xvnc, which is based on RealVNC 4.1.2.

Is this a known problem in vanilla RealVNC 4.1.2? Is there a fix or workaround - like perhaps increasing the limit from 255 to 65535 or something? That way, I could at least leak clients longer. :)

If it matters, the openSUSE Xvnc has 1301 lines of patches applied to it, relative to the upstream sources. It's not massively modified, but not minisculely either.

Thanks!
