Hi.

I am running the current Testing and am using WindowMaker as my window manager.

For some time now (a year?) trying to run an X program from the command line in an XTerm often causes the X server to unceremoniously crash and cycle to the login screen and it happens to many but not all. Because I don't often run X programs from the command line it has been tolerable.

Any of these programs when run from a user-created WindowMaker menu seems to run flawlessly. In addition, text-mode programs seem to run fine from the XTerm. I haven't seen the common thread, however I haven't spent a great deal of time trying to metaphorically tear it apart.

A brief, but by no means exhaustive, list:

Runs from Windowmaker:     ALL
Runs from command line:    mozilla, gimp2, gnomesword2, xchat
Crashes from command line: dillo, alsaplayer, acroread, xmms

Please reply to the list. I am subscribed but not to the above address.

Regards,


Terry.
