1. Sometimes X11 seems to crash or freeze, with the following
symptoms: I cannot click into an X window, clicking the dock icon
does not
bring the windows forward, and I cannot even move x windows around.
The
windows are not exactly "dead," as they continue to display what
they should
(i.e., if I leave a program compiling, the output is still visible
on any
x11 window that is visible). The only way I have been able to "fix"
it is
via force quit. I haven't been able to identify a cause for this;
sometimes
X11 will run for days and then crap out...so really, I'm just hoping
this
description of symptoms jogs someone's memory.
Weird. I've never seen this. Can you reproduce this reliably, and if
so, how? Can you still move the windows?
2: Another issue is that my .Xresources is not being read
consistently.
This is to say, I have
xterm*foreground: white
xterm*background: black
...as the first two items, and it does not always produce black
xterms when
opening, though it sometimes does. I also can't identify a
consistent cause
for this behavior.
Is it just the first xterm that this is the case for? Or is it the
same for xterms that you start up after X is already running. It
should really only be the case for the first one if at all. If it is,
then maybe I should make the sleep() longer than 2 seconds until we
really figure out an interrupt-driven solution for that.
3: Focus just...drops sometimes. Like, I'll be typing, and then the
window loses focus, and then the window regains focus. Not a huge
deal, but
I'm losing several keystrokes...I'd really like to know where
they're going.
This could, of course, not be X11's fault, but I'm not using any new
applications...
This is probably not X11's fault as X11 doesn't give focus to anything
else. Something else is likely stealing focus.
