by Hi all !
My problem seems to be with xauth using XFree86 4.0.1 (don't have
tried with 4.0):
let's do a simple "startx". Two xterms are automatically launched.
Look at this piece of shell session:
indiana:/etc/X11# xauth list
indiana:/etc/X11# emacs # All is ok. I leave emacs with C-x
C-c
indiana:/etc/X11# xauth generate indiana/unix:0
indiana:/etc/X11# xauth list
indiana/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 296b11632b37215c035301321c3f4f35
indiana:/etc/X11# emacs
X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on protocol
request 38
indiana:/etc/X11#
The "X protocol error" happened when I click in the emacs window (at the
1st or
2nd simple click).
Ok, in this case, I don't need to use a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE, but I need it
to run
remote programs using my local display (so I would do "xauth generate
indiana:0").
And the same error happens. I also got this problem with other X
programs such as
aterm.
I use a Debian Woody. I notice this problem using compiled versions of
XFree86
(the .tar.gz) and compiling by myself (about 70 minutes of CPU time, wow
!)
It seems nobody has had this problem before. Somebody has an idea ?
Thanks.
