Package: wdm
Version: 1.28-3
Severity: normal


When starting wdm the normal way, the cross cursor from X changes to
an arrow, and then the startup process breaks off.

I tested this then further in the following way. I started up a
separate X server, then did 'export DISPLAY=:0' in another terminal and
executed 'wdm -nodaemon'. After some time I get the following message
:

wdm: /tmp/buildd/wmaker-0.92.0/WINGs/memory.c:83: wmalloc: Assertion `size > 0' failed.

Hi, Jurgen,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. Since it seems to work fine now, I am
closing this bug report. Please reopen if needed.

Unfortunately wdm is orphaned both in Debian and upstream, and outdated
regarding xdm, so it may be removed from Debian wheezy unless someone wants
to care about it. Keeping the list of bug reports as real as possible should
be useful for anyone interested, thanks a lot for your feedback.

Regards,
