Re: XLOCK unlocks during the night.
Hi, Brandon!
I rebooted the computer hoping that it'll cure the problem, but it did not.
But when I ran xlock from the terminal, that's what I get:
$ xlock &
[1] 766
$ X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 78 (X_CreateColormap)
Serial number of failed request: 309724
Current serial number in output stream: 309731
[1]+ Exit 1 xlock
$ echo $?
0
Is this iinformation useful? What would you say, should I contact the package
maintainer?
Thank you,
Sasha.
