Re: Bug#260260: wmpinboard crashes when typing keyboard chars

[Adeodato Simó <asp16@alu.ua.es>]

  question to the X11 people: does a segfault at

    #0  0x41671029 in XmbLookupString () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6

  *always* mean that the bug should be reassigned to libx11-6?

  thanks, and please CC me and 260260@bugs.debian.org (M-F-T set, I
  hope).

  rebuilding 1.0-8 in a current sid system *of course* produces a buggy
  binary too.

  sad to hear this...

  but more than half a year had passed, and there was a major version
  X11 upgrade in the middle.

  I am quite ignorant about X11 and the like, so I'm pretty lost too.
