Description Franklin Marmon 2005-04-07 11:16:38 UTC
When using the center-click (wheel click) to launch xmms wmxmms crashes (dumping core if possible). 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure xmms isn't running
2. Launch WMxmms
3. Center click the WMxmms dock app to start xmms

Actual Results:  
The WMxmms docapp crashed. 

Expected Results:  
launched xmms without crashing. 

This bug is a missuse of the return value of a call to system(). I have a  
patch for it here: http://people.montana.com/~marmon/wmxmms.patch . The  
maintainer of this package hasn't responded to my attempts to get him to fix  
his code and release a new version. I just wanted to provide the patch so it  
could be added to the portage distro (if appropriate) to prevent otheres  
trying to use the package from experiencing this annoying bug.  
 
I've added the patch to my own portage tree and tested an ebuild with it to 
ensure all works as intended.

Just an updated patch.

I've attached an updated patch that will work on loaded systems. It seems I wasn't allowing enough time for the xmms remote to start on slower/loaded PCs with my last patch.

OK, substituted the patch with the updated one, thank you!
