Issue 140: Crash when closing pidgin http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=140 Comment #9 by meqif.kicks.ass: The 'export' byorgey recommended didn't help. I tried removing the UrgencyHook and pidgin didn't crash. Then I re-added the UrgencyHook, installed the patched X11 lib, recompiled xmonad and xmonad-contribs and pidgin didn't crash after my tests. :) Can anyone else confirm that the patched X11 library fixes this? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 140: Crash when closing pidgin http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=140 Comment #8 by byorgey: sjanssen just made a patch to the X11 library, can you test and see whether this is now fixed? http://code.haskell.org/~sjanssen/X11-1.4.2.tar.gz Be sure to clean and rebuild xmonad and xmonad-contrib (runhaskell Setup clean; then runhaskell Setup config ... whatever you normally do to build) after installing the new X11, then force xmonad.hs to be recompiled by running 'xmonad --recompile' at the command line. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 140: Crash when closing pidgin http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=140 Comment #7 by byorgey: If you set the environment variable AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit (for example, put the line export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit in your .xsession or wherever you start xmonad from), does it still crash? This has worked for me and might be a viable workaround until the real bug is addressed. Also see #165.

Issue 165 in xmonad: Java apps cause xmonad to segfault (X11 FFI issue?)
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 27 Mar '08

Issue 165: Java apps cause xmonad to segfault (X11 FFI issue?) http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=165 Comment #1 by byorgey: I've now confirmed that this only happens when UrgencyHooks are enabled. Minimal config => no crash. minimal config + UrgencyHooks => crash. my normal config with tons of extensions => crash. my normal config minus UrgencyHooks => no crash. Looks like this is indeed the same issue as #140. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 165: Java apps cause xmonad to segfault (X11 FFI issue?) http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=165 New issue report by byorgey: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. *Without* setting AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit, run a Java application such as cgoban3. 2. Watch xmonad segfault. Note that I cannot *always* reproduce this, and if I just start xmonad from the command line via startx (rather than through gdm) it doesn't happen either. So I'm not sure exactly what the difference is, or whether this is reproducible for others. But I can cause xmonad to segfault fairly consistently. I was able to obtain a core dump, and gdb told me this: Core was generated by `/home/brent/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0x0816f627 in X11zm1zi4zi1_GraphicsziX11ziXlibziExtras_zdwa11_info () (gdb) bt #0 0x0816f627 in X11zm1zi4zi1_GraphicsziX11ziXlibziExtras_zdwa11_info () #1 0x00000000 in ?? () I didn't attach the core file here since it's over 2MB, but I can easily provide it to any interested parties. I've no idea whether this is related to #140 (crash when closing pidgin), but it conceivably could be the same issue.

Issue 140: Crash when closing pidgin http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=140 Comment #6 by jeroenleeuwestein: I tried the default configuration (no xmonad.hs-file) and the crash did not occur. I narrowed the problem down to withUrgencyHook, so I guess that makes it a bug in xmonad-contrib. fails: main = xmonad $ withUrgencyHook NoUrgencyHook myConfiguration works: main = xmonad myConfiguration -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

changes since 0.6
by Brent Yorgey 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi all, I just went through the darcs changelog for xmonad-contrib since 0.6 and added most of the notable changes to the wiki ("notable" = "something someone upgrading from 0.6 to 0.7 might like to know"): http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Notable_changes_since_0.6 It's not necessarily exhaustive -- please take a look, and feel free to improve descriptions of changes, add notable changes that I missed, and so on. If everyone makes sure that the notable changes THEY contributed are present and described accurately, we'll have an excellent list indeed! Feel free to add notable changes to the core, as well, I haven't gotten to that yet. -Brent
