Description Habig, Alec 2002-02-06 17:38:15 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205

Description of problem:
If one right clicks on a docked or clipped appicon and chooses "settings",
WindowMaker crashes.  It does catch itself and let you restart without dropping
back out of X, though, which is a nice feature.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click on a docked appicon
2.select "settings"
3.watch WindowMaker die
	

Actual Results:  WindowMaker dies.  Don't see a core file and am not sure where
WM logs errors.


Expected Results:  You should enter a window where one can change properties of
the application in question.

Additional info:

Found this while trying to see where the "wmclock" applet had gotten to - this
appears to have been left out of the 0.80-1 rpm (worth a seperate bug entry?)

Am running on a fully updated 7.2 system, so had to rebuild from the SRPM due to
gcc 3 dependancy of the binary.

Ok I can confirm this is the case... investigating


Comment 2 Phil Copeland 2002-02-06 19:27:54 UTC
Ok, this looks to be a bug in the XIM patch that flakes out. I'm reverting the
patch.
If you happen to have the srpm kicking about edit the spec file and hash out the
%Patch1 line and the --enable-xim line.

Kicking this upstream to let the XIM patch person ponder over whats gone wrong.

The patch that is applied if off
	http://www.sh.rim.or.jp/~ssato/wm-i18n/index-e.html
but is based on one at

http://www.on.cs.keio.ac.jp/~yasu/linux/WindowMaker/WindowMaker-0.62.1-WINGs_im.patch

If someone can correct the fault and pass me over the patch I'll happily
reinclude it in the distribution

Please note: Time is short for patchs to work their way through (<2 weeks)

Cheers
