Description Andre Robatino 2005-09-09 03:12:30 UTC
Description of problem:
  The packages maxima and maxima-gui, currently in Fedora Extras, are not in
Bugzilla.  There is a serious bug in maxima-gui I need to report (namely that
exiting xmaxima in the usual way causes a logout of the entire X session).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
current

Comment 1 Walter Neumann 2005-09-09 05:16:11 UTC
I confirm the same problem with xmaxima: logging out (or even just killing the
xmaxima window) logs out of the entire X session. Messages shows:

Sep  9 01:04:06 neumann gconfd (neumann-3902): Received signal 15, shutting down
cleanly
Sep  9 01:04:07 neumann gconfd (neumann-3902): Exiting

Version: maxima-gui-5.9.1-4.fc4

Comment 2 Andre Robatino 2005-09-09 06:00:05 UTC
  I can run xmaxima in the foreground from a terminal window and kill it with
Ctrl-C without killing the X session.

Comment 3 Andre Robatino 2005-09-09 12:33:54 UTC
  Sorry, this appears to be a duplicate of bug #167786 (the fact that maxima
isn't listed in Bugzilla, that is).

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2005-09-09 13:27:11 UTC
Andre, 

In general, no single application should be able to take down an X session.    
 Further, xmaxima doesn't kill X (for me) when run on RH9, RHEL4, Fedora Core 3. 

However, I can confirm the crash on FC4, my ~/.xsession-errors (appended at the
end) is mostly unhelpful.  Considering that xmaxima is simply a wish(tk) script,
I'd venture this to be either a tk/tcl or X server bug, specific to Fedora Core 4.

Andre, could you close this bug and mark it as duplicate of bug #167786?

As for the killing X problem, yes I can also confirm and it is probably an
upstream problem because I also had the same problem (before the FC4 packages
were created) when I "rolled my own" RPMs from the SRPMs that were supplied at
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/download.shtml

I was kinda hoping that the problem went away with the new FC4 packages.

  Closing as a duplicate of bug #167786.

Bugzilla component "maxima" has now been created, and a new bug on the X
crashing problem has been opened at: bug #168451
