I've been having the same problem on 2 different machines. Neither xlsclients, nor xwininfo -root -children indicate anything that might help. Currently, my machine looks like this:
$ xlsclients | wc -l 28 $ xwininfo -root -children | wc -l 84 neither of which are very high, yet I still get Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0 I have this problem on 2 seperate installations of sid, both using Gnome (and galeon), logging in using gdm. Killing any of the programs running does not help (I've tried every one), ONLY restarting X will fix it once it has started to happen. The only reason I haven't filed a bug about this is because I have no idea where the bug lies, although it seems like a resource leak within X dave On Wed, 10 Mar 2004, Lucas J Barbuto wrote: > To answer my own post, some Googling turned up the neat command: > > xwininfo -root -children > > Which showed me (I think, I don't really understand) that many unnamed > Gecko windows are open (84, with only one browser window open).
