Bug#487629: keytouch blocks logout

[Javier Ortega Conde (Malkavian)]

Yeah!, these are first lines from keytouch changelog:

Version 2.4.0:
- Updated kernel keycode to X keycode mapping.
- Updated translations.
* keytouchd:
 - XCloseDisplay is not called anymore, because on some systems it may not 
return from this call.

Sorry, everyone, I have been extremely busy lately *and* without
internet access at home. If someone is able to create an updated package
you have my blessing to upload it as an NMU.

Otherwise, you'll just have to wait for me to get a little time off my
day job, in a couple weeks.

Bug#487629: keytouch blocks logout

[Ben E. Hard]

According to the keytouch-sourceforge-page, this should be fixed in the latest 
version of keytouch. So I recommend fast updating of keytouch!

Same error in my debian testing.

If I do  killall -9 keytouchdthen logout continues correctly.

Bug#487629: keytouch blocks logout

[Laurent Grawet]

Package: keytouch
Version: 2.3.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Unable to complete logout/shutdown/restart sequence with keytouch. I have to
kill keytouchd manually from another term to make the logout process continue. 
The bug has triggered this weekend after running some updates (maybe 
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~git20080517-2~lenny1 ? )
I temporary removed keytouch package from my system to fix the problem.

This is the same bug as #186713 on launchpad.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/keytouch/+bug/186713

The author (Marvin Raaijmakers) proposed a fix on the launchpad page :
I found the cause of this problem. While trying to do a clean exit, keytouchd 
does a call to XCloseDisplay. The problem is that, surprisingly, the program 
does not return from the XCloseDisplay call and thus doesn't exit. I think can 
this be described as unexpected behavior of XCloseDisplay, because as far as I 
know XCloseDisplay should allways return. A work around is to comment out the 
call to XCloseDisplay in keytouchd/main.c.

Regards,

Laurent
