Bug#197526: xbase-clients: [xprop] aborts when reading unset property
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.2.1-8
Severity: normal
I detected this behavior when using xprop -spy. xprop simply aborted when
I unset the property I was spying on. Here is how you can reproduce it:
weinholt@kallisti:~$ xprop -root -f FOOBAR 8s -set FOOBAR foo
weinholt@kallisti:~$ xprop -root FOOBAR
FOOBAR(STRING) = "foo"
weinholt@kallisti:~$ xprop -root -remove FOOBAR
weinholt@kallisti:~$ xprop -root FOOBAR
FOOBARAborted (core dumped)
