#916 Seg Fault in ICEWMBG on 1.3.8 -- CentOS6 RPM

[fullcrew02]

The latest version of icewm, 1.3.8-3.el6 was recently made available on the EPEL repo. Once installed, if there is an background image within a user's $HOME/.icewm directory enabled in the preferences file, the icewmbg program will seg fault.

OS: CentOS 6.5
Kernel: 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64
Reproducable: Yes, always

Steps:

1. Install icewm-1.3.8 EPEL RPM.
2. Enable a Desktop Background Image within $HOME/.icewm/preferences
3. Run /usr/bin/icewmbg
4. Program will always segfault when image is called.

Workaround 1:

1. With 1.3.8 RPM installed, make copy of icewmbg
   cp -p /usr/bin/icewmbg /usr/bin/icewmbg.1.3.8

2. Copy icewmbg from a CentOS6 with the 1.3.7 RPM into /usr/bin/icewmbg
   scp -p $RHOST:/usr/bin/icewmbg

3. Restart ICEWM

4. Background image is displayed via icewmbg without seg fault and ICEWM appears to behave normally.

Workaround #2:

Comment out (disable) all entries at the bottom of the preferences file making reference to an image

Section starts with

"icewmbg preferences"
