i'm running a slightly odd setup, including a 6x4 pager with sometimes up to 30 xterms across two 1920x1080 monitors. as that's a lot of vi sessions with a lot of history i can't have them shut down, so i run fvwm pretty much 24x7. fvwm when run continuously 24x7 for more than 2 months doesn't interact well with screensavers, so i don't use them. as i've been forced to quotes lock my screen quotes as a requirement which is being demanded even in an environment where physical access is incredibly easy, i've had to come up with creative ways to satisfy this meaningless demand. the way i came up with is to run xrdp locally, and rdesktop full-screen. i can then *log out entirely*, leaving the x-session running 24x7 and when i log in, re-run rdesktop and reconnect to the xrdp-controlled session. so in effect i'm now permanently using vnc (the back-end for xrdp) which means no opengl, no accelerated video, no direct-to-screen rendering, and so on, which is absolutely fine for my requirements. the main problems occur when running firefox. i've already had to disable flash as a known _instant_ crasher :) > I tried grepping for munmap_chunk() in the fvwm source but found nothing. yehh i have this suspicion it's in the x11 libraries somewhere - feel free to move this bug around if more appropriate. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
