The right way is to manage the applications to survive after IOError. Something like Xt FAQ, subject 18. I wrote a couple of xapps resistent to display crash and I personally do not understand why IOError was considered so fatal (by R.S.?) I would do error handling in XLib in this way: 1) Default XIOErrorHandler exits. 2) Caller of XIOErrorHandler does not exit but probably sets a flag. 3) Display functions do nothing on broken displays or generate an error or call default XIOErrorHandler or just exit. This would prevent people from longjmp hacks. A. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
