Re: quartz-wm memory once again



I don't, I only have ever seen quartz-wm have one instance, and only once saw Xquartz with even 1, but when Xquartz showed up there were 19.  Actually the only thing I start in a script is autocutsel and I have that set to print whether it started it or just recognized an existing instance so I can make sure I only ever have one of those.  The only thing I can think with Xquartz is that sometime last night my dog stepped on the keyboard and started about 120 xterms before I got back and noticed, so perhaps something went wrong with Xquartz when that happened.

Have you got a line that does "exec quartz-wm" or similar in some script you run repeatedly, to start an xterm, say??

Entirely possible, any thoughts on what might cause it, or why that would
cause quartz-wm's memory to explode?

That is definitely not normal, there should only be one instance of that
process. Perhaps that's related to the issue you're seeing.
