Another clue may be that this is a laptop, and I only see the problem when I'm docked with an external monitor setup (so I have two screens). I never see this problem without the external/dual screen. I have a desktop machine with only a single screen, but identical software setup, which stays up for weeks and never sees this problem.
I've attached the script I run (basically just call xplanet to generate a new image every 5min, and nautilus automatically picks it up), and I've added nautilus to the affected list. ** Attachment added: "desktop background update script" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1045899/+attachment/3432200/+files/xplanet-gnome ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045899 Title: Maximum number of clients reached To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1045899/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
