Hi, Apparently, this is not a bug.
- It's not specific to this package since it can be reproduced with the following C code: ------------------------------------------------------- #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <gdk/gdk.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { gtk_init(&argc, &argv); GdkWindow* rootwin = gdk_get_default_root_window(); gdk_window_set_events(rootwin, GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK); gtk_main(); return 0; } ------------------------------------------------------- gcc -o test script.c -g $(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 --cflags) ./test The program 'test' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. (Details: serial 111 error_code 10 request_code 2 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) - This happens when the event we try to grab is already listened by a program (here, the window manager). The following raises no problem: Xephyr :3 & DISPLAY=:3 ./test But the bug is reproduced with Xephyr :3 & DISPLAY=:3 awesome & DISPLAY=:3 ./test Where test is either the compiled C program or the following python code: ------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import gtk rootwin = gtk.gdk.get_default_root_window() rootwin.set_events(gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS_MASK) gtk.main() ------------------------------------------------------- Maybe this bug should be marked as done since it appears to be normal behaviour for gtk2 [1].
