that damn debian xlibs/openbox bug!
Hi, Starting with version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 of debian xlibs, openbox overlay panels are broken: switching desktops of alt-tab'ing keeps the transient panel focused and in the forground until ENTER is pressed. This seems to be a debian bug, as several xfree changelogs referred to that bug as fixed. However we are now at version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-9 and nothing has changed. I have to peg xlibs at version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 to keep my openbox functional. Additionnaly the debian BTS seems to no longer carry that bug, even in the resolved list. Is someone aware of the situation? Is there a workaround for that bug? Should I re-open it in the BTS? Thanks,

Bug#284448: Got it. back traced core dump

If you could send us something smiliar, that would be very helpful.
OK, I got it. After another upgrade to `testing' today, and a reboot
for a kernel parameter earlier today, My SiS6326 card started to crash
more consistently, even with the dfsg.1-4 package. So I tried the
-dbg_4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 package under root and unlimited core size, and
after a while trying I caught the crash.
I hope Mozilla (in which I can't seem to include text from a file---i
must attach---sorry) shows the bug report properly.
I've noticed that a typical behaviour is: server either crashes on one
of the first 10-or-so launches of clients (doesn't matter which), or it
doesn't, and then tends to live very long.
I hope this information help you.

Bug#275735: xserver-xfree86-dbg: Removing DRI module does not help

I'd rather you made sure by removing the xlibmesa-dri package, and sent us your /var/log/XFree86.0.log file afterwards to confirm it. I did it but the problem still does occur. xlibmesa-dri only matters when running OpenGL applications. We still haven't seen a clear statement on whether disabling the DRI in the X server configuration works around the problem or not.

Interesting, sounds like something doesn't deal well with a low memory condition. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast| http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
Bug#285396: [ARM] wide chars don't work
Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 xterm is built with the default -mstructure-size-boundary value, 32. This leads to sizeof(XChar2b) being 4 and not 2 as it should be. The result is that xterm with wide-chars enabled will display a null character between each second character. Steps to see the problem: xterm -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1 +wc (display is ok) xterm -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso10646-1 -wc (display is obviously wrong) The problem disappears if xterm is build with the -mstructure-size-boundary=8 option. I report the problem against the xterm package because that is the one I found it, and the one with which I experimented, and probably the worst, but it is probably present with all programs that use wide characters with the non-Xft X11 API. I am told that emacs suffers from the same problem.

The problem disappears if xterm is build with the
-mstructure-size-boundary=8 option.
Rather than adding a flag when compiling every X program, we could add a
__attribute__(packed) in X11/Xlib.h. The attached patch gives
sizeof(XChar2b)==2.
