Description Alan Cox 2003-02-11 13:29:35 UTC

Switchdesk seems to have a couple of problems Telsa found

Firstly if you select "this desktop only" it generates a
.Xclients-localhost.localdomain:0.0 file. If
you dump the environment from startx of a local display DISPLAY is ":0" not
":0.0" so it fails to find it.

Secondly if you create a local one it seems to also delete the Xclients.default
file which means all your other desktops (and due the bug above) all your
desktops stop working

Comment 1 Than Ngo 2004-02-03 21:00:45 UTC

it's fixed in 4.0.0, which is available in rawhide.
