================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
First, let me start by saying I'm not convinced this is an XEmacs bug.
However, I only see it with XEmacs (so far).
I'm working from home today. Rather than squint at my Mac Powerbook's
screen I thought I would use my nice spiffy G5 with the 20" Apple Cinema
display. I'm running Mac OSX 10.4.6 on both machines as well as Apple's X11
server (looks like XFree86 4.4.0 according to xdpyinfo).
I ssh'd into both the machine at work and my laptop (-X flag set to shoot X
protocol over the ssh connection) and executed gnuclient -q. The work
machine is Solaris 10. XEmacs there is 21.4.15 and is dynamically linked to
/usr/openwin/lib/blah-blah-blah, that is, Sun's stuff. The XEmacs on the
laptop (which I'm sending this mail from) is configured as below.
The Solaris/XEmacs 21.4.15 window behaves fine. Goes where I put it,
doesn't move of its own accord, etc. For the first couple hours that I had
the gnuclient window up from my laptop however, it demanded to be at the
left edge of the screen and it frequently "jittered" left-and-right, sort of
like the shaking the Mac's login dialog does when you type your password
incorrectly.
Whatever was causing the problem before, it seems to have subsided. I can
now move the window without it warping back to the left edge of the screen
and it isn't shaking anymore.
While I wasn't always looking at my laptop screen, at some times the window
from where I fired up gnuclient threw off errors like this:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GetWindowAttributes)
Resource id in failed request: 0x400020
Serial number of failed request: 90192
Current serial number in output stream: 90193
I know there are a bunch of variables here (multiple X libraries, XEmacs
varsions, running over ssh, etc), but does this weird behavior sound
familiar to anyone?
Thx,
