Package: ethereal Version: 0.10.9-1
I set up my ssh to run with "ForwardX11Trusted no". All the programs I've tried run fine when run over a X11 connection forwarded via ssh, except ethereal, which fails with the following error message:
The program 'ethereal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 127 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0)
FYI, here's what the ForwardX11Trusted option of ssh_config does:
ForwardX11Trusted
If the this option is set to ``yes'' then remote X11 clients will
have full access to the original X11 display. If this option is
set to ``no'' then remote X11 clients will be considered
untrusted and prevented from stealing or tampering with data
belonging to trusted X11 clients.
I don't think ethereal needs to be able to access other X11 clients running on the display to do its job. It'd be nice if whatever problem caused that error could be fixed so that ethereal could run with ForwardX11Trusted set to no.
