Description Steve Traylen 2018-12-18 13:54:30 UTC 
Created attachment 1515348 [details]
abrtd output of Xvnc crash.

Description of problem:

When a root TCanvas is quit with a .q it allways kills the XVnc server.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
root-6.14.08-1.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a tigervnc server and connect to it.
2. run root.
3. root> TCanvas a
4. root> .q


Actual results:
It kills the entire XVnc server.

Expected results:
It should close only the TCanvas

Additional info:

Note this may be and XVnc thing itself  but the strace of root
during the .q phase shows a lot of killing from root.

If using normal over normal ssh X11 forwarding then things are okay.

Comment 3 Steve Traylen 2019-02-25 08:43:28 UTC 
Is there any upstream bug for this that can be referenced?
Comment 4 Steve Traylen 2019-06-19 07:56:35 UTC 
A workaround is available if backing store is disabled within Xvnc

i.e. 

vncserver -bs
