by I've had to upgrade my Slackware 7.0 installation to kernel 2.2.15 in
order to get my SB PCI128 soundcard to work (I needed the 2.2.15 version
of the es1371 module), and now I'm seeing bizarre behaviour with
workman.
When logged on as a 'user', workman paints only the top half of it's
window (the part below the play arrow button is all white), and
generates a stack of error messages:
~ $ workman
XView warning: Notifier error: No condition for client
XView warning: Notifier error: No condition for client
XView warning: Notifier error: No condition for client
XView warning: win_send: No condition for client
XView warning: Notifier error: No condition for client
XView warning: win_send: No condition for client
XView warning: Notifier error: No condition for client
XView warning: win_send: No condition for client
(etc.)
However, when logged on as 'root', workman works as expected, painting
the whole window and generating no errors.
Obviously, there's a permissions problem somewhere, probably introduced
as a changed behaviour in a kernel API used by XView.
Has anyone run into this problem? Does anyone have an idea as to which
component needs to have it's permissions fixed?
