Bug#430819: fluxbox aborts on upgrade to xserver 1.3
Hi Brice

I made a fluxbox-dbg and installed xserver-xorg-code-dbg,
then installed the problematic xserver, ran
startx /usr/bin/xterm
and got an x-shell, then ran
gdb /usr/bin/fluxbox
gdb> run
and the shell hangs, so no bt possible. Looking at the
process tree in a console window (I use whowatch for this)
I see that fluxbox (spawned from gdb) has a "T" next to it
(I'm not sure what this means, perhaps you do! The same program
shows a "Z" in the same position for zombie processes)
Reverting to the old xserver and all of the above (the gdb
etc) worked as expected.
So not much help I think. Any more ideas?
