Hi Christopher, I'm still running some long simulations on my computer and haven't had the chance to try out the new Ubuntu. However, in the meanwhile I was searching around and saw that this (fixed) bug is a duplicate of the one I reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openbox/+bug/997212
I hadn't realized it was an Openbox-specific issue, which is likely why these weren't merged earlier. Anyways, after applying the suggested patch I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. It was somewhat difficult to reproduce before, but I tried all kinds of things I'd been afraid to do for the last year and a half, with no problems. Also from my reading, it sounds like this bug was specific to Openbox users with 12.04, and that the issue disappeared for 12.10 and beyond. So I'd suggest that you do two things: 1. Update the default Openbox binary in the Ubuntu repositories for 12.04 to the patched version.2. Mark my reported bug as fixed.

I'll see if I can get to it in the next couple of days. -Dan > Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2014 15:39:51 +0000 > From: christopher.m.penal...@gmail.com > To: dannor...@hotmail.com > Subject: [Bug 995944] Re: x-session restarts randomly > > Daniel Reynolds, thank you for your comments.
