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
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 Phil =--=
Updated patch reintergated with 0.80.0-6, wait for rawhide to pick that up tonight Phil =--=
