[xine-devel] X11 & VNC vs running directly

[Julie R. <jul...@th...>]

Hi Everyone,

I have implemented a client based on the simple x11 frontend code located in
the hackers guide. I have been developing and running it in a vnc connection
and it appears to run fine. I decided to test it on the machine itself and
discovered a very strange bug. The first instance I run it, it thinks it is
running, but it doesn't show anything. If I start up another instance while
doing this, it works fine. It appears to work for every second instance of
the application. Also I noticed that when I terminate it on vnc it
terminates cleanly, but when I terminate it directly on the machine, it does
terminate, but it throws a seg fault before exiting. The other strange thing
is it appears to make 6 - 8 instances of itself upon running... Have you
ever come accross anything like this? I am very confused!

Thanks,
Julie.
