Re: Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached
I've been having the same problem on 2 different machines. Neither
xlsclients, nor xwininfo -root -children indicate anything that might
help. Currently, my machine looks like this:
$ xlsclients | wc -l
28
$ xwininfo -root -children | wc -l
84
neither of which are very high, yet I still get
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
I have this problem on 2 seperate installations of sid, both using Gnome
(and galeon), logging in using gdm. Killing any of the programs running
does not help (I've tried every one), ONLY restarting X will fix it once
it has started to happen.
The only reason I haven't filed a bug about this is because I have no idea
where the bug lies, although it seems like a resource leak within X
