Bug#475534: x11-apps: oclock fails to show updated time, apparently because repainting hands in wrong colour
Package: x11-apps
Version: 7.3+1
Severity: normal
A power-cut just forced me to reboot into 2.6.24-1-686, having
previously been on a 2.6.18. Most X-related things were restarted
within the last two weeks when I did an /etc/init.d/xdm restart, but
some have doubtless been updated since.
After the power-cut, my oclock has always been stopped.
Its hands don't move, although they do change colour
I find that an xclock works fine.
My fvwm init.hook fires off oclock using
+ I Exec exec oclock -transparent -geometry -0+0
and post.hook sets
Style * SloppyFocus
Style oclock NeverFocus, NoTitle, Sticky, NoHandles, StaysOnTop
I've started a separate X session, startx -- :1, running fvwm with
nothing but an xterm and the xplanet root window (that somehow knew to
start up, despite my having moved aside my default config), from which
I started oclock -transparent; I see the oclock's hands in their
initial position mostly painted black; or, when I had to clear
xscreensaver, the green that xscreensaver was doing; so it looks like
a failure to repaint. It looks as if the part that remains yellow is
the intersection of the initial position of the hands and the position
they should currently be in; but the current position is not otherwise
drawn.
