Does this problem still occur in xorg-x11-6.8.2-10 or later?

I don't know, as the latest (according to yum update) version available to FC3
comes from xorg-x11-Xnest-6.8.1-12.FC3.21.  Is there an update available somewhere 
that will fix the problem?  The current Xnest segfaults immediately when started;
even the command 

     $ Xnest :1

fails instantly.


Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2005-03-22 16:03:50 UTC
Bug confirmed fixed in X.Org 6.8.2 by someone else.

Setting status to "RAWHIDE".   If the problem persists after you upgrade
to 6.8.2, please reopen.
