FWIW, I managed to freeze wmiiwm a few times when I modified ruby-wmii to use Ruby-IXP 0.1. wmiiwm got hanged in ixp_send_message, since the write(2) syscall blocked. That was with wmii-3.1 + Ruby-IXP 0.1. I'll try to reproduce it with Ruby-IXP 1.0.2 and a more recent wmii. -- Mauricio Fernandez - http://eigenclass.org - singular Ruby _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wmii
