Package: xinit Version: 1.2.0-2 Severity: normal After starting X using "startx &" in a shell in a text console, if back in that text console I happen to run "bg" on the startx job (which reports "... already in background"), then when I go back to the X console, the window manager is frozen. (For example, it doesn't change window focus per mouse movement or update its pager.) The X server is still running otherwise (at least enough that whatever window had focus still gets keyboard events).
(Since "bg" reported that the job is already in the background, I wouldn't expect there to be a change in the status of the job--so I didn't expect that the job (including the window manager or whatever) would be affected. I also notice that if I do 'startx &' and then log off of the text console, the window manager is also frozen. On Sarge, that didn't happen. What changed? Especially for the "bg" case, is there a bug somewhere in X components, especially related to shell job control?
