Yes, I am. > If so, how often does it occur? Certainly not very infrequently. There is a non-determinism, though. For instance, this latest login, wmmixer showed fine, xtoolwait instead hung instead of showing wmbattery. If I kill xtoolwait with SIGTERM then the application I was waiting for pops up happily. > Do you have any other relevant information that would help reproduce > the bug? Hmmm, I don't know. I try using -timeout 3 but that doesn't help. My window manager is ctwm, if that matters. I could try to attach some debugging thing to it perhaps. Would it helped if I sent a coredump of the running xtoolwait or something? > Have you tried it on i386? (I don't have an amd64 machine to test on at > the moment.) I'm afraid not, all our machines are amd64. I do have libc6-i386 installed though if there's some easy way I can use the i386 xtoolwait on an amd64 system?
