I never experience the problem you have, and I use KDE and Mozilla. For me, that command reports 830 windows. (I realize windows are not the same thing as clients, but giving that this bug has been open for a while without much useful information apart from confirmation of its existence, I want to see what we can do to gather more data.) To be honest, I don't know how to ask the X server how many clients it *thinks* are connected for the purposes of sending this error down the wire to Xlib. xlsclients connects to the server and uses XQueryTree(), which isn't the same thing. That's only going to be able to find clients that are attached to the root window, and won't help us with a resouce leak. (My xwininfo suggestion probably suffers from the same flaw, but I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway.) -- G. Branden Robinson | I am only good at complaining.
