Warning: attempt to remove nonexistent passive grab

2007-09-25 Thread BartlebyScrivener 
Hi,

I searched this group on this error message, which I get at odd times
on Debian Etch, usually when using Mutt or xpdf to read an attachment.
I'll go to those groups too, but sometimes I think I see it even from
the command line. Anyone else? Or does anyone know what it means?

Thanks,

rd

When I launch xpdf from a CLI or from within mc (by hitting 'enter' on
a pdf) and then close xpdf I always sees that message.  I don't know
what it means, but it seems harmless.

Yes, I have the same issue but it does look quite harmless.

I googled it a while back; apparently it's due to a harmless bug/design
flaw in the libraries used by Xpdf.

The error is harmless, though annoying.
