Bug 79668 – xcompmgr-1.1.1 segmentation fault when a window is destroyed while xscreensaver is running

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonathan Briggs 2005-01-26 20:19:35 UTC]

I like playing with the Composite extension.  I use the xcompmgr program.  It would segfault on me, apparently at random, which was very annoying.  I managed to reproduce it by running:

# xcompmgr -c -C -f -F
# sleep 7; gnome-terminal; exit

and then clicking my Lock screensaver icon.  After waiting 7 seconds I would unlock the screen and xcompmgr would crash.  xcompmgr must be running with fade options.

Created attachment 49630 [details, diff]
Patch against xcompmgr-1.1.1 to fix bug

Fixes it so that dequeue_fade and its callbacks (which might free important
data) are run last.

looks good, but this really belongs at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.  file it there and i'll spin another xcompmgr release.

thanks!

Thanks much! We'll follow it there.

This should be fixed in xcompmgr >=1.1.2.

Marking fixed.
