I start fvwm-crystal with startx in a *kit free environment and redirect its standard error output into a file. At each restart from fvwm-crystal menu, I get something like X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 113 (X_KillClient) Value in failed request: 0x800001 Serial number of failed request: 29 Current serial number in output stream: 35 I narrowed down the issue to the Wallpaper-Set function (in the components/functions/Wallpaper Fvwm-Crystal file). When habak is installed, crystal use it at first choice. This doesn't append with x11-misc/hsetroot or media-gfx/xloadimage. As Fvwm-Crystal and habak maintener, I dropped habak support in favour of xloadimage into the Wallpaper-Set function. Also, I know almost nothing in C/C++. In consequence, If someone do provide a patch for habak that fix this issue, I will be happy to apply it and make a new release. Otherwise, I will keep it sleeping. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge habak fvwm-crystal 2. startx fvwm-crystal 2>.fvwm-crystal.errors 3. restart fvwm-crystal from its menu The error will be shown is .fvwm-crystal.errors Actual Results: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 113 (X_KillClient) Value in failed request: 0x800001 Serial number of failed request: 29 Current serial number in output stream: 35 Expected Results: no error
I made one more change into the Fvwm-Crystal svn repo. Xloadimage doesn't support well the layers. This cause the terminals to not redraw their backgrounds when the wallpaper is changed, and corruption into the black borders of mplayer here (ati-drivers). In consequence, xloadimage is the last choice in Wallpaper-Set, and hsetroot is the first one.
Sorry for the noise, the last sentence should have been: In consequence, I replaced xloadimage by feh, which is the last choice in Wallpaper-Set, and hsetroot is the first one.
This issue is solved in fvwm-crystal-3.1.7 by dropping habak support in favour of feh. If someone want to make a patch for habak, I will apply it and make a new release. Otherwise, I will let it sleep.
Looks to me as follows: * we have x11-themes/fvwm-crystal-3.6.5 and newer in the tree * x11-themes/fvwm-crystal does no longer depend on x11-misc/habak * x11-misc/habak is broken * x11-misc/habak has no reverse dependencies * we should last rite x11-misc/habak
