So I've analyzed the gnome-screensaver/gnome_bg_create_pixmap() problem a little further. I believe this is (arguably) a bug in libgnome- desktop: gnome_bg_create_pixmap() creates an X client with CloseDownMode set to RetainPermanent, and uses this client to create a new pixmap, which it then passes to gdk_pixmap_foreign_new().
However, when the ref count on this gdk pixmap drops to zero, gdk does not actually free the pixmap, because it has the is_foreign flag set (since it was created with gdk_pixmap_foreign_new()). So the dummy X client from libgnome-desktop is left with one pixmap forever. The problem is that libgnome-desktop just forgets about the pixmap it creates and passes to gdk_pixmap_foreign_new() as soon as gnome_bg_create_pixmap() returns, so it leaks. However I'm not sure what a good fix for this is yet. -- apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
