Bug 476423

Created attachment 326872 [details]
adopted patch 0001-Replace-dixLookupResource-by-dixLookupResourceBy-Typ.patch for use against xorg-server-1.5.3

During deployment of LTSP5 i found that it's unable to run some application from thin client. The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.

That was easy reproducible:

[verem@elbrus ~]$ gedit --sync
The program 'gedit' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.
  (Details: serial 127 error_code 15 request_code 45 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.)
[verem@elbrus ~]$ gcalctool --sync
The program 'gcalctool' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.
  (Details: serial 449 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0)

This happens if xfs is used, but thin client have to use XFS by definition.

After some exploration if found that it's actually bug in xorg-server package:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-August/037554.html
actually was referred from:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430416
but still not fixed.

After applying (and adopting to 1.5.3) all applications start normally and no problem with xfs usage on thin clients.
