Does anyone know the current maintenance status of the X11 package? I emailed Spencer Janssen a number of months ago and never heard back. So, I'll put this here in case any one else runs into it or can get it to the right place.

This is a proposed bug fix for a problem I ran into using xmonad client messages to send remote commands on 64LP architectures (i.e., amd64), wherein the C X11 library and Haskell's disagree about the size of client message arguments.

The XClientMessageEvent.data.l field is actually a long, not an int, so it must be interpreted as such, even though format is set to 32 in this case. Ostensibly this is an Xlib bug, but it is unlikely to be fixed there.

I believe it's documented behavior (in XLib). In any case, that's only one of several problems with client messages (and properties). It's on the list... somewhere. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery.b@gmail.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] kf8nh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2CiEoACgkQIn7hlCsL25XezACdH8w+tE7FveanJvA8s/1RQQQD SVEAnA88zbzt+1dRzMR7Maq7H4kLEVBg =Hb3q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
