#18 DISPLAY = :0.1 causes segfault

[Dave Helton]

Hi, (me again!)

[root@goliath]# root-portal -d :0.1 -n &
[1] 12395
[root@goliath]# root-portal -d goliath:0.1 -n &
[2] 12397
[1] Exit 1 root-portal -d :0.1 -n
[root@goliath]#

my DISPLAY env var is set to :0.0

both of these cause rp to segfault. I have a dual head machine using a matrox G400 and run rp on the second head.

during a debug session with logrotate (attempt to restart rp after log rotating) I suspected I needed to tell rp which display it should run on. Alas...

I'll have a look at it. I suspect the problem may be to do with gnome not getting the -d option, since root-portal itself also need to interpret the option. In the meantime, does it work doing this?

DISPLAY=:0.1 root-portal

Mantys,
The DISPLAY=:0.1 did the trick.

Now that I have installed 0.4.8, I'm getting more segfaults when I bring up the config screens. I can't even add a new gnome-text option without rp blowing up.
I suspect it's the RH7 gnome libs being out of date or just plain b0rken.
Sometime today (Sunday) I may try to exorsize the RH implementation of gnome and see if Helix will install.
I have a feeling it won't.

The gnometext crashing is my fault. I'm just building a new release with this fixed.
