Package: scrotwm
Version: 0.9.8-1
Severity: important

Hi,

When using scrotwm on a machine with Debian Squeeze, I can't run 
applications like xpdf, xterm or even vim in a terminal. It does 
not work either if I try to run these applications via dmenu.

After a while, I figured out that the problem is due to the presence
of LD_PRELOAD in the environment :

ch...@melange:~% echo $LD_PRELOAD
/usr/lib/scrotwm/libswmhack.so.0.0
ch...@melange:~% vim
zsh: segmentation fault  vim
ch...@melange:~% export LD_PRELOAD=
ch...@melange:~% vim
[it works]
ch...@melange:~%


I don't have this problem on an other machine with sid, while the 
LD_PRELOAD is still set to /usr/lib/scrotwm/libswmhack.so.0.0 in my
environment.


Regards.
Christophe Mouilleron.
