Patch for FLuxbox bug 1116

As per this upstream bug:

http://sourceforge.net/p/fluxbox/bugs/1116/

x11-wm/fluxbox-1.3.6-r1 can cause X to quit with several of the builtin styles.  I've tested the attached patch and it does in fact correct the issue.

The patch is from upstream, though it's only slated for 1.3.7 for some reason.

Unless 1.3.7 will be stable soon, it may be worth a release with this one.  It sure cost me hours of hell with my MythTV frontend the other day.

There actually is a stabilization request for fluxbox-1.3.7:

I see.  Yea, if that's not far off that makes more sense.  Thanks!

Upstream fixed this with 1.3.7, which will be eligible for stabilization in a few weeks. When that goes stable, this bug will be invalid.

I'll leave this bug open, closing it when 1.3.7 goes stable. You reported the bug, so you'll be informed of this.

It seems that you've successfully applied the patch, so you should be okay in the mean time.

I'm marking this bug as IN_PROGRESS to illustrate that there is a solution (1.3.7's stabilization) pending that will fix the bug.

Thanks for reporting!

Fluxbox 1.3.7 has been marked stable, rendering this bug invalid. Please update to fluxbox-1.3.7-r2 to fix this bug. Thanks again for reporting!
