Sorry, I don't think this is a bug in gftp after all. I read on the Cygwin/X mailing list that openssh 3.8 has a new config directive called ForwardX11Trusted, if one sets this to yes, the crash seems to dissapear and the program runs much faster to boot. To use this one would connect to the remote box using the command ssh -X -Y user@host, this enables X11 Forwarding and Trusted X11 Forwarding (new in OpenSSH 3.8, I think). See man ssh_config for more details. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: After ssh -X into my Fedora box from a Windows XP machine running the latest Cygwin/X server, when I attempt to launch gftp in the xterm gftp crashes with the following error after attempting to click a menu: The program 'gftp-gtk' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 3400 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Could this be because I have no X server running on the Fedora box? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.14 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to a Fedora box using ssh -X (no X server running) 2. Attempt to launch gftp 3. Click a menu in gftp and watch the crash This may be a Cygwin/X only bug because I have used gftp remotely many times without problems with the OS/X XFree86 and with other Linux boxes. Though now it seems the crash doesn't happen everytime I use gftp through Cygwin/X. Additional info:
