Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Severity: normal

When xgamma is run with no options it displays the current red, green
and blue gamma as far as it knows.  This is often wrong however, since
other programs (such as games running under WINE or SDL applications)
may set screen gamma without using xgamma to do it.  When xgamma is run
in these instances it displays what the screen gamma was set to before
it was changed, which is wrong.

To reproduce:
- use xgamma to set the screen gamma to any value, say x
- run a third-party program that uses libraries such as WINE or SDL to
  change the screen gamma, to, say, y
- switch out of the third-party program and run 'xgamma'.  It will report
  x instead of y

If the program exits and resets the screen gamma to the value it was
before running, xgamma will once again be correct.  However, if the
third-party program crashes, the gamma will not be set back and xgamma
will report incorrect values until the gamma is manually set using
xgamma.
