I've installed chromium-browser and chromium-browser-inspector from wheezy, but since my previous chromium session has eventually been lost in the crashes, I will not be able to tell if the bug happens with it before a while. Yet, I can't make sense of what's happening now: It must have screwed something up big time, because with *no browser running*, I cannot start more than one X application with my current setup (X session which has been running for 12 days), after which I immediately get the "Maximum clients" message. And I cannot verify how much clients/windows that is because xwininfo/xlsclient will show the "max clients" and won't run. To give some perspective, here's what I have before and after starting xclock: $ xlsclients |wc -l 33 $ xwininfo -root -children|wc -l 272 $ xclock & [1] 17388 $ xlsclients |wc -l Maximum number of clients reachedxlsclients: unable to open display ":0.0" 0 $ xwininfo -root -children|wc -l Maximum number of clients reachedxwininfo: unable to open display ':0.0' 0 [killing xclock here] varenet@Kanti:~/new$ xlsclients |wc -l 33 [1]+ Done xclock varenet@Kanti:~/new$ xwininfo -root -children|wc -l 272 I suppose I'll have to restart X pretty soon, my system is now mostly unusable...
