Package: xfce4-settings
Version: 4.8.3-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
when running xfce4 under VNC (vnc4server), xfce4-settings-helper
generates a segfault.
E.g.:
kernel: xfce4-settings-[20447]: segfault at 1 ip 8000936e sp bffff270
error 4 in xfce4-settings-helper[80000000+f000]
I debugged and identifed the issue:
When running under VNC, the function XGetExtensionVersion returns "1".
This is not considered in xfce_pointers_helper_init().
The following patch fixes the issue.
Thanks for processing this issue.
Regards
Mathias
