Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.3.1~dfsg1-2
Problem:
The simple procedure to reproduce the problem is to run
xterm -e false
in a shell ("xterm -e false" works, too). This will create an xterm that is
immediately closed again. Sometimes, this window will get stuck. Checking the
output of "ps ux|grep xterm", I see that the xterm process was already
terminated, so the window is left without the according X client.
Workaround:
In order to remove that window, just repeat the command that actually caused
it. In rare cases, you will end up with one more zombie, but now and then the
zombies are removed.
Notes:
- What makes this special is that the client only lives for a very short
time. Due to the asynchronous nature of X, it is possible that the client
terminates even before the window manager has fully mapped the window that was
created. At least that's what I would look at, but I don't really know.
- This might be related to[1], but there it mentions tab groups.
Cheers!
