Guys,
I have been experiencing the exact problem that you described in your
various e-mails.
I can't pinpoint what causes the problem, but I experience it quite
often. It seems that stopping FVWM and restarting will cure the problem
for a bit, but after (something happens) the problem crops up once
again.
The application I started seeing this with is the GUI that accompanies
the EMC Data Manager. I know immediately if things are working or not
because the window immediately gets closed. I usually get an error
similar to the following:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GetWindowAttributes)
Resource id in failed request: 0x2800001
Serial number of failed request: 921
Current serial number in output stream: 922
Today I started to attempt to "debug" this, and looked for help on any
debugging options when I came across this thread. I shut FVWM down and
restarted it. I stopped and started the application numerous times with
no trouble. I'm not sure if the number of windows I had open has
anything to do with things or not, but the problem came back after I had
a few XTerms open. Now that I don't have that many XTerms open, the
problem has gone away (but then again, I have 5 or 6 Mozilla windows
open).
I also saw the same problem with rm6 (release 06.22.01.54). I just
installed the app today and started to familiarize myself with the it.
The initial window comes up with no problems. When I open any of the
other windows (i.e. Configuration, Status, Recovery, etc.) I get the
window, again with no trouble. That newly created window closes,
however, when I move the mouse over the buttons near the top of the
window (just below the File, Module, Options, Help section).
Both premature closes happen during the same time frame. Meaning, if I
start the EDM window and it immediately closes, then I can also get rm6
windows to close just by moving the mouse over the buttons, and vice
versa. If the action is happening with rm6, then the EDM window will
not start.
Once one application starts functioning properly, the other does as
well.
I'm sad to say that for a while I had moved to GNOME because I was not
seeing these problems there. But I can't handle GNOME any more and
wanted to come back 'home'.
Please let me know what I can do to help track this problem down.
I'm running on Red Hat 7.3 if that matters.
Am I taking the previous e-mails correct when I say that it appears that
these problems do not crop up on :1, and only on :0?
Thanks for helping!
