Re: [Kxine-user] Bug report

[Mark T. <mb...@do...>]

Hi Lachlan,

  Sorry, but development of Kxine is on hold while I'm doing my
final-year project for my degree.

  I think this is yet another symptom of the locking bug.  Basically,
libQt and libxine are both heavily multithreaded. Xlib is not
threadsafe.  This is normally not a problem as Qt and xine have their
own locks that they use to manage the connection to X, but getting them
to play nice together is nigh-on impossible.

  If you feel like compiling it, I suggest you try the latest cvs from
kxine.sourceforge.net, which I think has this fixed.

  Regards,

    Mark.
