Package: ratpoison
Version: 1.4.2-1
Severity: serious
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a ratpoison bug or an X server bug (or both?).
After upgrading to the latest version of the X server, the ratpoison
command-line (C-t :) will lock up the X server after you hit Enter. The
only way to regain control is to 'Ctrl-Alt-SysRq r' to force kernel
control of keyboard/mouse, then 'Ctrl-Alt-SysRq k' to kill the X server
forcefully. The other C-t commands work properly, though, which is
strange.
Trying to quit ratpoison by using C-t :quit will hang the X server, but
manually killing ratpoison (kill $pid) will gracefully exit the X
server.
Relevant packages:
ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~git20071212-1 Xorg X server - core server
ii xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.6.193-3 X.Org X server -- ATI

This is a bug in the X server. It happens with ratpoison, icewm and I
think everything else that opens a keyboard processing window via a
keyboard grab.
